AprPAD — Day 14

photo from New Forest of wild pony

Day 14: write a poetry form and its anti-form (I chose poetry form: haiku 5-7-5 and reverse haiku 7-5-7)

Haiku:
hidden from my view
hoofbeats stitch the morning air 
sunlight listens in

Reverse Haiku:
ghost hooves, hear them echoing
through the falling hush
where only dawn dares to rise

Written for Writers’ Digest Poem-a-Day Challenge for April 2026. Prompt word: form and anti-form. Photo taken in the New Forest where there are a lot of wild ponies.

  2. Love both of them, Misky. I learned a new form today, the reverse haiku. Thanks.

    1. Thanks. I’m not sure if it’s a real form or not. It’s something some of us on Substack were playing with.
