Mist coils sleeping pines
From their shadows, bats take flight
Dark shapes in moonlight
It’s been a bit since I’ve taken on one of Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday challenges (which is now: Colleen’s Weekly Poetry Challenge). Things have changed. More forms are included: Haiku / Tanka / Haibun / Cinquain / Senryu. Check it out and challenge yourself.
I’ve chosen a haiku. This week’s prompt is to write a poem with the words ‘mist’ & ‘shape’ in it.

What a beautiful image, Sarah. We have a large colony of bats (fruit bats) living near us here. It is magic when they take flight at night. Sometimes they chatter in our trees as they eat the berries.

That does sound magical. We don’t have a lot here but the few we see…I can only imagine a colony fluttering out of the trees. Thanks, Norah. ❤
