Lovely lune.
There are two versions of American Lunes you might enjoy,

Thanks, Jules! I didn’t know about these versions. Love the flexibility of Lune, for sure I’ll try them.

Elizabeth, this is lovely. The “lune” form is the shorter 3-5-3 haiku or senryu. Very nice. I like the double meaning. ❤

Yes, it’s a tiny haiku! I was awake at 4 am this morning, I saw the words and I knew what to write! 🙂

I’ve not been on insta much lately. Hard to find time to do both WordPress and Instagram simultaneously. But we’ll never lose contact, I will always look for your posts and thoughtful sharing. But yes Instagram algorithms have been a bit crazy recently!
