Meet the Sun

Planting

            source

radical loving
root by root

From
the words
you gave me

Before 
virus forced 
us inside alone

Forgiving 
took me 
a long time

Now grow, plants.
Meet the sun.

Day Ten International Poetry Month

 

Today’s prompt (optional, as always) is another one from the archives, first suggested to us by long-time Na/GloPoWriMo participant Vince Gotera. It’s the hay(na)ku), a three line poem.  I've written the hay(na)ku sonnet, described by Vince in April 2012: 

"Four hay(na)ku, adding up to twelve lines, and then a couplet of three words per line, each equivalent to the third line of a hay(na)ku. This means that each stanza, in whatever shape, contains six words. A total of 30 words for the whole poem, then."

My blog poems are rough drafts.
