Haibun Thinking: Week 8 – 10 March 2014
This week’s Haibun Thinking is “Freestyle” Week. This is to produce a Haibun with no prompt. After thinking about this, I felt this may not be helpful to everybody, so I decided that you can either use anything of your choice as a prompt, or if you have difficulty trying to get something to come to you, then you can use one of the prompts already used. I have included all six of the previous photos, art piece or quotes.

Me, I’m going to freestyle this one :). And… Go!
Deft touch, artist’s brush
Painting Me Brand New
Acceptance and grace in the face of the lie that I’ve been forced to live for almost two years. This was all that I’ve hoped for as I emerge from the slime that is the world he made for me. It never crossed my mind that such a bright and beautiful soul could take notice of me among the many lovely people that surround him. I find it easier to face my face, when you take my shoulders, turning me to see how I’m reflected in the beauty and compassion of the bright, blazing light in your beautiful blue eyes.
Imperceptible
Yet felt in every fibre
The essence of you

Description of the Haibun poetry form from Rays Web: The haibun is prose (or a prose poem) interleaved with one or more haiku.
I like how you have done that. The image and the Haibun knit together perfectly, with the story behind it being one of hope and renewals.
Thank you for participating again, we appreciate it.

It is amazing how people look at things and either take things from memory or make something up. Also, I like the inspiration people drag from the “freestyle” week.
