"FLIP-FLOP HAY(NA)KU"


"Flip-Flop Hay(na)ku" is Vince Gotera's term for a chained hay(na)ku (more than one stanza) where the form alternates between 1 / 2 / 3 words to 3 / 2 / 1 words and so on.  Here's one inspired by today's morning views:

WRITING / YOUR OWN / REALITY: "GOOD MORNING!"

Write
avoid falling
off the mountain

to avoid falling
off the
mountain


Speaking of hay(na)ku, there's still time to send 1-3 hay(na)ku poems to the 15th Anniversary Anthology Celebration: HAY(NA)KU 15!  Deadline is end of February, and there's more information at https://eileenrtabios.com/haynaku/haynaku-15-call-for-submissions/
