Stepping out
Once upon a time
– the story starts. Slow down the pace:
Every now and then,
Some words go out for a walk.
I meet them, sometimes, off duty.

[Something new here – not haiku, but slightly longer. A tanka, another form of Japanese poetry.
I’m enjoying the discipline of creating lines of certain lengths, and seeing how that fits with the conversational tone of the longer lines I’m used to writing.]
