Who By Fire?
My forty-first dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena and my final entry for the Vocal Quadru-Haiku Challenge
This is my forty-first dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena.
This is my final entry for the Vocal Quadru-Haiku Challenge which you can read about below.
The main criteria are here
Write haiku inspired by any or all of the four elements: earth, water, air, fire.
My friend Lee also told me that the seasons should be implied rather than named, so I will try and apply that concept in these four haiku.
You can read my first entry by following the link at the end of this which also provides a fuller definition of the requirements for haiku.
The music I have chosen is "Who By Fire?" by Leonard Cohen which also provided inspiration for this piece from the sadly missed poet and performer.
