Driftwood
Water gypsy
Adventures to share
______________________________________________
This is my attempt in writing in Hay(na)ku form.
“Hay(na)ku is a 3-line poem with one word in the first line, two words in the second, and three in the third.
Hay(na)ku is considered a modern poetry genre, first presented in June 2003. According to J Zimmerman, in a traditional Hay(na)ku, there are:
A tercet: 3 lines.
A total of 6 words: 1 in the first line, 2 in the second line, and 3 in the third line.
There is no restriction on syllables or stressed or rhymes.
Variations:
In the ‘reverse’ haynaku, the longest line is placed first and the shortest last. The total is still 6 words: 3 in the first line, 2 in the second line, and 1 in the third line.
Multiple hay(na)ku can be chained to form a longer poem.”

I like it, Becca. I have not yet tried to do many precise types of poetry as my heart really likes my prose but I commend you and believe you have captured it here.

Judy, I cannot take credit … I found it googling. I have some great driftwood photos from years ago – but I cannot remember where I placed them! It was easier to google! 😀
