  • Your poetry writing invitation this week is to choose kigo words from a PAST season, OR work with the kigo words and phrases from the Early Cold challenge HERE.
  • You choose the form, and you choose the past season, and the winter kigo words. You must use at least one kigo word in your poem.* 
  • *Remember, if you write a haibun or a haiku, the kigo word is required in the haiku.

hawks soaring above

skirt evening thunderstorms

wind chimes sound warnings

the predator loops meadows

creatures scurry to burrows

  1. Cheryl, this is nature in motion!

    The imagery of hawks soaring above, the approach of evening thunderstorms, and the sounding wind chimes… I get such a sense of both grace and foreboding…

    1. Finally back to normal, whatever that is😀. Hope you get tho WP problems solved. All of their sickening, disgusting ads interspersed with our works is the worst, and they are certainly making money.
