The First Hay(na)ku Anthology
To celebrate The First Hay(na)ku Anthology, Eileen Tabios has announced a Hay(na)ku Holiday contest.
Today, I got my copy of The First Hay(na)ku Anthology in the mail. I find myself understanding why this form is addictive, it is addictive...okay...it is addictive.
I even attempted to write fantasy hay(na)ku which I sent to the speculative poetry criticque group on The Sword Review .
I haven't written poetry in a long time...but because of The Chatelaine I find myself attempting the form.
(*to knowledgeable reader, please forgive my errors.*)
Forgetfulness
they say
indicates onset of
Alzheimer's.
Growing old
in cold countries
my brain cells
freeze over
eradicating
memories
one by
one. Until I
don't remember where
I left
yesterday.
*****
Reading and reading. I carry poetry books around the house with me.
Have found Hay(na)ku
will attempt
poetry.
