Time for the Monthly Fake Flamenco poetry challenge! This October we will write a haiku. (información en español abajo) This poetry form originates in Japan, but it is practiced the world over. It is composed of three lines: 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables. The theme is something that fascinates you in nature; an experience, creature or setting. You have until October 11 to place your poem in the comments below. Poems will be published October 13.
¡Es hora para el Reto poético mensual de Fake Flamenco! Este octubre escribiremos un haikú. Esta forma poética tiene sus orígenes en Japón, pero se practica en todo el mundo. Haikú está compuesto de tres líneas: de 5 sílabas, 7 sílabas, y 5 sílabas. El tema es algo que te fascina en la naturaleza; una experiencia, un animal o ambiente. Tienes hasta el 11 octubre para colocar tu poema en los comentarios abajo. El 13 octubre los publicaré.
Example Haiku:
Feet in single line
Walk through forests and by lakes
Crunching through lost leaves
–Rebecca Cuningham, 5 October 2020
Haikú de ejemplo, traducido:
Pies en línea
Cerca bosques y lagos
Crujidas hojas secas
–Rebecca Cuningham, 5 octubre 2020

Here is a new one (the one on my blog was a 3/5/3 anyway, not 5/7/5). And this one is October themed 🙂
Frost gilds golden leaf
Sculpted clouds cruise sapphire blue
Fall speaks in color
