Haibun Thinking Week 4: Freestyle

This week’s Haibun Thinking is Freestyle where you have no specific prompt, although the prompts from the previous weeks are available if they are needed for a little nudge of inspiration.

If you want to have a go, take a look here or take a look at what others have written here.

With storms blasting from the west
with snow blowing from the east
with rain coming from the north
with clear weather coming from the south

With help coming from the left
with aid coming from the right
with people coming from the back
with workers coming from the front

The energy of the planet
seems to be shifting a great deal
something seems to have happened
and people are aiding each other

At times of disaster
at times of destruction
at times of great loss
at times of serious need

People come to help build defences
construction workers pumping water
office workers filling sandbags
health workers digging snow

at times of great need
humanity joins together
to beat back the weather
