Here's your last Tuesday prompt of NaPoWriMo:

Today’s Prompt

Write a haibun that incorporates the cards Shores, Habits, and Healing.

Haibun are prose poems followed by a haiku. The haibun and the haiku share the same considerations: meditative attention towards the natural world; a sense of looking, listening, and feeling without judging. The haiku typically condenses and expands upon the prose to land on a moment of epiphany.

Your poem might traverse literal, littoral shores. It might traverse metaphorical ones. Either way, meditate on these cards and write what arises.

Here are paintings and prompts:
