"The soul should always stand
ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience."
~Emily Dickinson
Your challenge is to write a haiku or
tanka (or choose one of your previously published works) that has a
connection with the themes/feelings/images of the above quote, without
just restating what has appeared in the text, to create a haibun. Play
around with it and see what you come up with. Enjoy!

Her soft Southern eyes
always searching for fireflies;
even tho she knows
there are none out West.
Falling stars will do.
