Big Tent Poetry gave us seven prompts for the week. I chose the following three to be my muse :
Write an ode to a thing you love in nature.
Petals –
dry , bright;
memories kept safe
Petals –
in books
your treasured touch.
Write an ode to a prized physical object.
books –
I treasure
and gift away.
books –
I receive
are never mine.
These are written in Hay(na)ku form. Hay(na)ku Β is a 3-line poem with one word in the first line, two words in the second, and three in the third.
Write a poem about drunkenness.
I drink
amused at myself
I can drink
and be amused
by the drink.
You drink
to amuse
others
who drink
to amuse.
The above is a gogyohka. Traditionally gogyohka is a 5-line poetry where every line stands on its own as a separate line too.

I loved each one of them and i love petals tooo.. but they look lovely on the flower on the plant
Cool collection of thoughts…
Wow, some new (to me) forms to try. Thank you.
You certainly amused me with each. I share your feelings about books.
Very impressive!
I like the 1-2-3 form. Fun.
I like the simplicity of these … and yet, there is more than meets the eyes!
This is another new form for me … I didn’t realize there were so many forms! I must try my hand. Thank you for sharing ~

“Petals –
dry , bright;
memories kept safe”
I found this very powerful. Incredible writing.
I especially liked the about books. I haven’t come across that form before, I think it works really well.
