Hello, welcome to the weekly Ligo Haibun Challenge. This week there are two
intriguing photo prompts, from which to choose.
~
The first from Ye Pirate and the second from David Thoughts From The Outdoors, Thank you both!
Your writing challenge (should you wish to accept it) is to write a few paragraphs, as you view the photo prompt you have chosen, from a thought, idea or feeling the photograph evoked.
Once you determine the direction the photo is prompting your thoughts – go with the flow! Write!
At the end of your prose (written words – a few hundred or so) add a short free verse poem. haiku style! (see sample of a haiku below) a summation (so to speak) of your written words.
Sample haiku:
a thing of beauty expression of being soul of my haibun *Publish your haibun on your blog site and then click on the link box below (and follow the simple directions) to be entered. For more details and information click on the heading HAIBUN CHALLENGE at the top of this page!
And be sure and check out the two other co-hosts of the Ligo Haibun: Nightlake and Managua!
Good Luck,
~ Penny

…reminder, Penny…set in a Press This icon…please!! 🙂
Thanks Sunshine, I’ll see what I can work out for the Icon! 🙂
In seeing your post, I had to look up the definitions of haibun and haiiku. It is very interesting. I have never written a haiku and after looking at the second photo I tried to write one (according ro the rules I read) and came up with these:
North, south, east or west
The right path must be chosen
A quest leads the way

Reflected in life
Disturbed by summer storms
Left to nurture many
This was fun! It is fun to learn new things.
Thanks so much for your post!
I will keep trying!
Hi Sheila, good for you and great job too. They are lovely, be careful, though, you’ll get hooked on them! 🙂
I just couldn’t get it to work in WP – I did work on it yesterday…but with the programs not playing nice with each other…I just retired.
Something different:
