Day 7: Hay(na)ku

Hello,

A haynaku is a modern poetry form created by Eileen R. Tabios. It is a tercet (three-line poem) with a total of six words. It is also called a simplified version of Haiku and hence written as hay(na)ku. The first line has one word, the second line has two, and the third line has three words. Though a single haynaku is a poem, a chain is used to present an idea or tell a story in a disjointed narrative style.

Poor prey

Hide in snow
