“When the heart weeps for what it has
lost, the spirit laughs for what it has found.”
~Sufi saying
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!
