I’m joining Trina Haase at Trinarrative for a daily haiku challenge this month.
I’ve been trying to find haiku in pieces of prose I’m reading, especially in lines I might skim or overlook. From Madeline Miller’s Circe, my before bed read:
my grandfather smelled
deep as rich river mud
my father a searing blaze
the jagged mountains
wide out-flung blue of ocean
I looked for mortals
I love the grandfather one…”smelled deep as rich river mud”…great line!
It’s a beautifully written novel! Greek mythology retellings are generally a hard pass for me, but I can hardly put Circe down.
