“Feet, what do I need you for when I
have wings to fly?”
~Frida Kahlo
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!
