Fifth day of this year’s National Poetry Writing Month. Todays’ prompt is “Lune”. A lune is a sort of English-language variation on the haiku, meant to better render the tone of the Japanese haiku than the standard 5-7-5 format we all learned (and maybe loved) in elementary school. There are a couple of variants on the lune form, but just to keep things simple, let’s try the version developed by Jack Collum. His version of the lune involves a three-line stanza. The first line has three words. The second line has five, and the third line has three. You can write a poem that consists of just one stanza, or link many lune-stanzas together into a unified poem. Happy writing! ” Here’s my first attempt at a Lune:

I am conceived
out of love, not fear
excited they heaved
I am shaped
deep inside a hollow space
I am weaved
have webbed fingers
my organs grow big too
also fingerprints do
about five inches
my mother gets a clue
cartilage also grew
eyebrows and eyelids
my mother feels my kick
she gets crick
pound and half
now I am not weak
they check graph
open and close
I try to follow light
with my sight
layers of fat
are filling me out
making me stout
feet below ground
hounded and battered I’m slay
an infant lay
