dVerse Poets Haibun Monday


Your haibun does not have to resemble this one, but for this prompt, I’m asking you to do some time traveling of your own. You may write about your own past, imagine your own future, invent an entirely fictional time-travel tale, or do something in-between.

Time travel is an interesting concept, whether to travel to the past or try to embrace the future. I think my preference would be to spend a first few days after I married, enjoying my husband.

shyness gone

enjoy together

touch embraced

lost love rest in peace

revisit – delight

Haibun Monday: Let’s Travel Through Time

Simply Six Minutes

“Hey, Pickle, are you sure you want to land on that planet? I’ve heard strange things are happening there. I think you know of course, we will be caught and put on a plane to Venezuela. I don’t like the idea of being imprisoned there. Pickle, are you listening to me? Peapod, grab his shute, we need to head to Mars instead! Pickle!”

FFfAW – Welcome Back!

Discarded cups tell the tale. Two people seen at a busy cafe, place their order, tagged number 19. They sit and the meet begins. First smiles, then touching hands, then a shoe meets another’s ankle. The nuance familiar, only the beginning, then chemistry rules. Two wanting lovers leave the cafe.

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt

I wonder if Trump sits back at night, eating something greasy, and chuckling to himself as he apparently decides to revel in his position of power. I wonder if he watches Fox News and thinks to himself how he has gotten away with all of his misdemeanors, outright criminal behavior and decides to write another executive order that destroys democracy. The constitution means nothing to him, neither do we.

The Writer’s Workshop

***

I’m going to cheat and write I attended an event, but only from my chair and through the NFHS network that covers soccer and basketball, baseball, etc – many sporting events I can’t attend in person. This Saturday I tried to watch a soccer game in Sheridan, WY. It was snowing and started an hour late because of plowing the field. This is my view during the game…I couldn’t tell what team was playing and no score or time was offered on the tv site. It was 31F degrees for the players with poor visibility. This is what I saw:

This Week’s Writer’s Workshop Prompts – March 27, 2025

From Claytoonz:

“MAGA re-education continues. 

The executive order on “restoring truth and sanity to American history” alleges that the country has undergone “a concerted and widespread effort to rewrite our Nation’s history.” It instructs Vice President Numb-Nuts to work with Congress to prohibit spending on “exhibits or programs that degrade shared American values, divide Americans based on race, or promote programs or ideologies inconsistent with federal law and policy.” 

Donald Trump has issued an executive order for Vice President (sic) JD Vance to work with Congress to rid the Smithsonian Museum and National Zoo of “improper ideology” that is “inconsistent with federal law.” 

All JD and Congress can do is cut funding if they don’t do as Trump “desires,” which is the way JD put it to Greenland, “We can’t just ignore the president’s desires.”

We don’t have laws that ban “improper” ideology. We have laws that PROTECT ideology. 

Among the exhibits Trump wants to ban are those in the American Women’s History Museum that “recognize men as women in any respect.” The order also calls out an exhibit on race and sculpture at the Smithsonian.”
