Today's prompt is to write a hay(na)ku - a riff on the traditional haiku: three lines of one word, then two words and then three. Such a simple form, discreet in meaning but also subtly powerful. I had fun with this one and wrote several, one about the form itself. Try it - it's short and sweet and kind of addictive or -
Short
and sweet
and ridiculously addictive!
Metamorphosis
Chrysalis
opens just
enough to see.
Wings
come from
mind stretched wide.
One
step then -
another and another.
Larva
meet pupa;
hello orange wonder.

Lemon Days
How
can anything
be sweet again?
***
Hay(na)ku
Pyramid
of form
much and little.
