Resting Days - #kimo #haiku #WDYS #FFFC #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity @YvetteMCalleiro

Hello, beautiful readers! Both Sadje's What Do You See? prompt and Melissa's Fandango Flash Fiction Challenge used pictures that were very similar in theme, so although I wrote a different poem for each, I decided to combine the prompts into one post. 

For the What Do You See? prompt, Sadje provides us with a picture of a man resting in a gorgeous tree. I chose to write a kimo for this poem. A kimo has three lines with a syllabic pattern of 10-7-6 and is focused on a frozen image.

In the Fandango Flash Fiction Challenge, Melissa provides a picture of a bear napping in nature. For this picture, I wrote a haiku with a 5-7-5 syllabic pattern.

an escape from daily obligations

hidden where no one will look

embraced by nature's arms

cherry blossom's lullaby

lulls bear back to sleep
