#HaikaiChallenge #9(11/25/2017)…#haiku #senryu #haibun #tanka

Take a bow, poets, for accepting last week’s challenge!

Jilly– Live Oaks Retain Life

petrujiveljoen– Thanksgiving

qbit– Haiku–Thanksgiving

Xenia Tran– Tanka: Counting Blessings

revivedwriter– Thanksgiving

Moving on to this week’s challenge!

November comes to a close this week. Days shorten. Leaves shrivel and drop. Winter’s chill approaches. What could be a better time to celebrate Guns N Roses’ classic single, November Rain?

This week’s unconventional kigo is “November Rain.” Say it or reference it in a haikai poem–haiku, senryu, haibun, tanka, etc.–of your choice!

As always:

Here’s how the challenge works:
1. Write your haikai poem (haiku, senryu, haibun, tanka, renga, etc.)

2. Ping-back to the Challenge by placing a link to it in your post.

3. Comment with a link to your post.

 

Good Writing!

Remember: Winter is Coming!

    You’re killing me here, Frank; this is our dry season! Haha! November fog would be more accurate… (Musing…)

    Again, a Floridian transplanted from the north. Had to dig back into the vaults of my noggin to vague memories of that hateful wet stuff dripping down into the collar of my chamois shirt, soaking through my New Balance runners. Thanks for that, Frank!
