NaPoWriMo 2020, Day 10: Mindfulvie By The Sea

Mindfulvie by the sea inspired me.

Holistics
huddle on
Zoom. New connections.

Mindfulvie
our inspiration
shares her acrostic.

Exhilarated
Grab my
pen, get creative.

Moment.
Live in
it. Each second.

Inspiration.
Seek out
people and words.

Nature.
Get outside.
Ground and breathe.

Dream.
Visualise everyday
Unfolding in beauty.

Faith.
Universe it
has your back.

Understand.
Everyone is
doing their best.

Love.
Yourself exactly
as you are.

Nurture.
Undertake daily
self care practice.

Enjoy.
Movement, pleasure
bodies, not punish.

Scribe.
Journaling, gratitudes,
write forgiveness letters.

Surrender.
Concede what
you can't control.

So today's prompt was to create a hay(na)ku, a variant on the haiku. A hay(na)ku consists of a three-line stanza, where the first line has one word, the second line has two words, and the third line has three words. You can write just one, or chain several together into a longer poem. 


Today's image was the acrostic writing that I had created after attending an online Zoom meeting run by Sue Perrett called the "Holistic Huddle".  Today's guest speaker was Vicky Eldridge who had shared her own acrostic mindfulness writing.


I wrote my mindfulness acrostic writing before reading today's NaPoWriMo prompt but found that what I had written would really translate well into the hay (na) ku.
