A Brief Introduction, and a Haibun!

I was inspired by my professor Theresa Williams to create a blog to chronicle my journey of reconnecting with my Muse. I am a student in her poetry workshop class, which she recommended I take to help me condense my complex thinking. Our first unit we've covered in class this semester was Haiku (which I'll also be posting once I write more), and as a side project we have to create a Haibun journal. The best way that I can define "haibun" is how it was taught to us in class - prose and haiku combined.

I just completed my first Haibun for my journal and want to share it here with everyone.

Haibun #1

Skies are grey once again in Bowling Green. I saw the sun for a few brief moments. It had rained this morning.

block the sun
