Day 5 of the NaPoWrimo Challenge and guess what’s the prompt given this time. Today’s optional prompt is to write a 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!

Thanks a ton NaPo for giving me a chance to learn about Lune.

Oh, I went crazy to write a poem in the form of  Lune.
It is my first try on Lune.
Hope it sounds cool 😉 😛  Me and my crazy rhyming. 😛
