Day Ten & Friendly Friday nightime

• Manja Maksimovič

With a push that being featured among 630 or so participants brings along, here are twelve little poems of six words, each with a night-time image.

Prompt 10: “It’s the hay(na)ku … a variant on the haiku. A hay(na)ku consists of a three-line stanza, where the first line has one word, the second line has two words, and the third line has three words. You can write just one, or chain several together into a longer poem.”

First time I hear of it but the concept sounded catchy immediately. I felt a bit mexcessive after being the featured participant today. Thank you so much! Not a little thing to be featured out of so many. I’m especially glad that you liked my door poem.

So here are 12 hay(na)kus, or as I’m going to call them, hey(not)cool, each with a night-time image, since this post is also for the Friendly Friday photo challenge and Amanda chose nightime as her theme. Now I’m wondering if this actually means nigh time. Hmmm. Well, in some images the night is not yet here but nigh.

While all the other photos are from around my home in Tuscany, one is from Rome, one from Orbetello which is now too far for our grocery shopping, and the last one is of my parents’ home in Ljubljana, Slovenia, where I did my growing up.

One third done, two thirds to go. Of April and poems. Thank you for reading, always.

  • Look!
    Told you.
    Sinking sun melts.
  • Here
    sunset, there
    fire on horizon.
  • Gentle
    coral hues.
    Lamp blocks sun.
  • It
    sees you.
    Misty December moon.
  • Continuous
    good mood.
    Pampered by quarantine.
  • Promised
    largest moon.
    Not nearly pink.
  • Image
    rarely seen:
    Moon as boat.
  • Venus
    occupies screen.
    Book review pending.
  • Life
    momentarily suspended.
    Soon complete darkness.
  • Sensationally
    forbidden supermarket.
    Missing my lagoon.
  • Photogenically
    trapped moth
    finds the door.
  • Above,
    familiar light.
    Just no family.

For Day 10 of NaPoWriMo 2020

  6. I love this photos – I can feel all the different moods of night-time, from beginning to middle. The one with the lamp was quite clever! And I did a tinge of pink in the one!

  10. There are so many variations of poetry… You wear them all so effortlessly. Love the photos and words about the various shades of celestial light. Hope you are well, dear Manja. I have wondered how you are doing over there.💕
