writethepandemic Prompt 10 asks us to write a haibun, which is essentially a prose and haiku together.
I couldn’t go outside and the most I could do was to sit on my balcony, a perch in the sky, overlooking my neighbors’ balconies.
I’m a boring person who can’t write, despite numerous attempts at learning creative writing. Don’t say I didn’t warn you after you read my bad haiku.
My bad haiku
Faces blue outside –
When will the tide change for good?
We cry for vaccine!
