Yes, it’s April Fool’s Day, but it is also the first day of NaPoWriMo, where participants are asked to write a poem a day. This is the fourth year I’ve participated. Today’s prompt is to write a lune, a three-line poem with a 5-3-5 syllable count. In addition, most days I’ll also be following the WordPress one-word prompt, which today is the word “colorful.”
Three Lunes
I search for yellow,
whereas blue
comes looking for me!
Life paints a black frame
around white
to draw our eyes there.
That fuchsia flower
in the pond
floats on life and death.
Three Loons
The crying of loons
in chill air
turns the water blue.
