Hello, beautiful readers! Today, I am combining two prompts that mesh well together. The first is from Sadje's What Do You See? prompt, where she provides an image to inspire us to write. The second is from Sue W and Gerry C's Weekly Prompts Colour Challenge. This week's color is green.
I decided to write a haiku. A haiku is a three-lined poem with a syllabication pattern of short-long-short. In my case, I used 5-7-5. Haiku are written about nature in some manner.

Excellent combination Yvette. The towns and cities are overrun with buildings leaving less space for green areas. Love your poem. Thanks for joining in.
ReplyDeleteSadje.
Thank you, Sadje! I wish cities had more greenery. I appreciate your visit. :-)
DeleteIn truth nature is barely surviving. It cannot when each tiny bit left between the hideous concrete is a island and all that keeps it alive cannot reach it. A great haiku, well done.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Mason. Greed is harming our planet. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. :-)
DeleteYou did a great job of combining the two prompts, Yvette. Your haiku is so true!
