I Quote, You 'Ku - Day 13

I am
A hole in a flute
That the Christ's breath moves through –
Listen to this
Music
~Hazif

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!

Click here for the first post on how I Quote, You 'Ku works. Every poet who posts a poem this month will be entered into the draw to win a copy of A New Resonance 8.

    the wind veers
    where we cannot know
    only the Spirit

    hard terrain--
    the water muses
    on gentle slope

    praying the Psalms
    old rose bush leans
    against evergreens

      Dear Kirsten, Thank you. I recently received a copy of A New Resonance 8. Looks beautiful! So no need to include me in the book draw, though thank you! I recognized your name and mostly thought I'd say hello. Best wishes, Ellen

    "Christ" and "Messiah"
    Just mean, "anointed with oil"
    mechanics are christs

    Day 13: breath

    wind through the ferns
    god's breath
    tickling our hair

    I've been unable to participate for a few. Just wanted to say I love all of these for the 13th - and am enjoying catching up. Such original ideas and phrasing from everyone. Beautiful thoughts.

    And the quotes for the prompts are simply wonderful! Some I'd heard before, but most, had not. Am very glad to read new inspiration.
