A follower kindly suggested I add a haiku to my post on the Angel (8-20-18), making it a haibun for d’Verse. I doubt my ability but thought it might be fun to watch me squirm:
raindrop eats the light
firefly carries it
forest eats the fire
fire eats the forrest
NO, that’s connected in no way at all to the Angel story. Try again, Nan. (Besides, it’s not 5-7-5)
Choir of crickets blare
Two roads diverging at night
flat tire disaster
or
Angels in the night
Descend Respond to cry needs unspoken
Hosannas Don’t forget thank-yous.
but
it’s not supposed to directly continue the first part. So,
The old bullfrog belched
down the road over the hill
he’s and fat with insects
synchronicity

Not pulling your leg. You mentioned that the last line was not directly related. I have searched (and searched again last night) and can’t find anything about that. But that’s OK.

I’m looking for my source–I have so many papers and so little filing skills and so many years behind me! If I come across the source I promise to share.

They’re all lovely Nan. The last one, pertaining to the Angel story works perfectly with it. For someone who doesn’t know much about haiku (who does), these are spot on, each stand in its own right and the last fits the Angel story – oh! I’ve already said that. I think you’re a bit late to link it up to the haibun prompt on Dverse but perhaps the next haibun prompt will inspire the muse – as the case may be. Well done!

I enjoyed reading your process here, Nan…very entertaining! I think I like the first one best 🙂 But now I’m wondering, what to serve on a haybun?

Let me know! Thanks for the response. I’ve been laying kinda low recently because I’m trying to polish up my 39 chapters of “Transgendering Soul,” which I don’t want to self-publish. I’ve become paranoid recently and too suspicious of the self publishing folks, in addition to feeling negative towards Amazon. I’ve also realized they can sell a “good as new” book without paying royalties. So, I want to wrap up this book and let someone–me or my heirs–start it on the long rejection road to success.
