Kimo Day 9 ~ nature’s way

By Kat Myrman

nature’s way

breezes whisper, streams dance ‘midst smooth pebbles
buds unfurl into blossoms
there is no urgency

When deadlines and workaday madness overwhelm me…this. ❤️

Kimo poems are an Israeli version of haikqApparently, there was a need for more syllables in Hebrew. That said, most of the rules are still familiar:
• 3 lines.
• No rhymes.
• 10 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second, and 6 in the third.

Also, the kimo is focused on a single frozen image (kind of like a snapshot). So it’s uncommon to have any movement happening in kimo poems.
