haibu(na)ku///1
silent
moments grace
releases all gone
i remember knowing when i awoke it had snowed. water dripped from the eaves differently . it was very quiet. the blankets were piled high. the image of walking in the snow crept under the blanket's warmth. it curled into my remnant dreams & froze.
Note from thomas fink: Eileen Tabios, inventor of the hay(na)ku in 2005, inaugurated the use of the haybun in 2008, a haibun involving any number of hay(na)ku as the poetry section following the paragraph(s) of unregulated length. With her blessing, I have devised a stricter offshoot, the haibu(na)ku, in which the paragraph must have an equal number of sentences as the hay(na)ku or chain of hay(na)ku has words.
hay(na)ku: tercets(3 lines)totaling six words, line one is one word, line two is two words, line three is three words(syllabics are irrelevant). a reverse hay(na)ku: line one is three words, line two is two words, line three is one word.
