hummingbirds dancing

Hi dear Kim, thank you for your kindness. The Lune poem was created by the poet Robert Kelly. It's a 3-line poem, with 5 syllables in the first line, 3 syllables in the second line, 5 syllables in the third line. Lune poems can tell a story, they don't have to have a nature theme, but nature can be a theme,they can have other themes too. There are no other rules for constructing a Lune poem other than the syllable rule. Have a creative day!
