Ok, I just learned about a new form of haiku called Haynaku which is basically a haiku with 6 words (words can be any length--don't care about syllables) in three lines. Regular haynaku has 1 word in the first line, 2 in the second, and 3 in the third. There is also reverse haynaku (obviously other way around). More info may be found at: www.baymoon.com/~ariadne/form/haynaku.htmMy challenge--write a haynaku or a reverse haynaku, on any subject you like. My first ever (written today) is: marking math papers the sun shines |

Wow! What great responses to my challenge. I know on twitter there is a hashtag for certain numbers of words, so these would fit the #6words, but I like the using 3 lines for those 6 words. Anyway, I think all the haynaku here are wonderful! Thanks!

Hiya Daphne! The Haynaku is a fun form, simple enough to not be intimidating. Thanks so much for introducing us to it. Daphne brings us gifts of haynaku  |

Umm, swelvis, the haynaku form is three lines, the first containing one word, the second two words and the third three words. Therefore your poem should read: I am dwarfed by your shadow It's a cool poem, just make sure you get the form right. |

I thought this was the one that could be written backwards.
Sorry, my mistake.

It does mention reverse haynaku as being acceptable on the link. Not sure about differentiating and where it might matter...

Oops! You are absolutely right, Heather! Apologies to you, swelvis. That'll teach me to not read the link! (I do prefer the the short line on top, but you were cleverly the first one to do a "reverse" haynaku!)  Brigid |
