-
unruly crayons
green-
a needle splash
inkling the shade, breeze.
apathy,
one clear spinner
of somber incisions, as they
descend.
headlong and unsure.
rumours fill the backroom.
smoky
fingers seeking
to grasp, fiercely trying,
somewhat.
listen. could lines
ever walk -or resign -or subdue.

*Hay(na)ku is a 21st century verse form invented by poet and publisher Eileen Tabios, who launched the first Hay(na)ku challenge to the world at large via the web on June 12, 2003 (Philippine Independence Day). The “traditional” form of a hay(na)ku entails:
A tercet: 3 lines.
A total of 6 words: 1 in the first line, 2 in the second line, and 3 in the third line.
There is no restriction on syllables, stresses, or rhymes.
Then, in 2007, Tabios issued an online invitation to poets to join in groups of three or more to create “chain” hay(na)ku with each tercet moving between voices as in a conversation or a traditional “parts” song. “Our Rowdy Pack Song” is a poetic duet that loosely interprets the form.
