her name called moves her,
from the summer’s scorching heat,
clouds teasing relief
clouds teasing relief,
give hope of a friendly pool,
to cool the burning
to cool the burning
she crawls to the edge to drink
from this lake of fate
from this lake of fate
the point a quenching rebirth
she may soar again
This poem uses the Haiku form with a repeating pattern of the 3rd line of one stanza to be the 1st line of the next. I am not aware of a Haiku form using this pattern, not that it matters. Give it a try if you like. I composed this in response to Jibber Jabber with Sue’s poetry prompt of FRIENDLY and Pensitivity’s Three Things Challenge of NAME, EDGE, and POINT.

🙂 I couldn’t find a way of including all of the words into one haiku, that I liked, soooo… I just went with the flow. 🙂
