Colleen’s Weekly Poetry Challenge No. 53 – Mist & Shape
Colleen’s Weekly Poetry Challenge No. 53 – Mist & Shape
I’m adding another poetry form to Colleen’s Weekly Poetry Challenge starting October 2, 2017. It’s called a cinquain. – Colleen
Cinquain

Autumn
Golden new shapes
Cooling, changing, rustling
Aromatic fresh mist in air
Season
Senryu

Music in air mist
Penetrates my sensations
Melts shape of my heart

“Senryu (also called human haiku) is an unrhymed Japanese verse consisting of three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables (5, 7, 5) or 17 syllables in all. Senryu is usually written in the present tense and only references to some aspect of human nature or emotions. They possess no references to the natural world and thus stand out from nature/seasonal haiku.” – Shadow Poetry

Timing is the essence. I for sure didn’t push my daughter. When there was a baby fever among her friends, somehow she was ready! 🙂 I hope the fairy waves the wang and spread some golden dust on you when time comes!

Thank you, Meenakshi! These are the new poem forms that Colleen just added to her Challenges, so I tried them. I didn’t know that haiku is about nature, and senryu has the same form but is about human feelings. Interesting!

Yes, I learned about haibun from her also. It combines prose and haiku and it’s on first person basis. It has several variations. You could visit her blog if you’re curious!
