“The idea that memory is linear is
nonsense. What we have in our heads is a collection of frames. As to
time itself – can it be linear when all these snatches of other
presents exist at once in your mind? A very elusive and tricky
concept, time.”
~Penelope Lively
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!
