National Haiku Day

Standard

Today is National Haiku Day and the NaPoWriMo prompt was to write a poem inspired by a piece of music and to share that piece’s title as the title of the poem. Because traditional haiku do not have titles, I decided to find several five syllable song titles to use as the first lines of haiku. I selected three songs by Bob Dylan as my inspiration.

like a rolling stone
tumbled ashore by high tide
clouds obscure the moon

blowin' in the wind
single leaf cartwheels on the grass
unexpected grace

tangled up in blue
bare branches on a cloudless sky
dandelion sun
