Svenja’s Haiga Prompt
Svenja’s prompt: Haiga
Create a haiga by pairing a traditional haiku or senryū with a visual art form of your choice. Let the overall theme reflect the long-awaited shift from winter to spring.
All visual art forms are welcome. Be sure that the words and the artwork work together and enhance one another.
Write your haiku or senryu in three unrhymed lines with a 5–7–5 (or short-long-short) syllable pattern.

Audio – Thaw 🎶
The frozen footstep of a fox.
It’s comforting to know spring is waiting underfoot.
