Challenge 17 :: Seasons
Challenge #16 Closed / Challenge #17 Open!
Thankyou everyone who posted Alien Cuisinne drabbles :D
This weeks challenge is...... Seasons.
yep. Winter, Summer, Spring and Autumn. Write a drabble relating to a season (or two or three or four).
Extra challenge: write a Haibun!
"what the frell is a haibun?" I hear you say. Well.. Im glad you asked! a Haibun is a combination of prose and haiku.
There are lots of rules and guidelines that people should be aware of when writing traditional haibun (and traditional haiku also), but we're not going to take it that seriously, so we'll just say "write 100 words and a modern haiku" for the challenge. The haiku can be located anywhere within the prose. Its up to you if you include the haiku in your 100 word count.
You can see some examples here:

note: for this challenge a haiku is simply a poem composed of 3 lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively, that should relate to the prose (your drabble) in some way.
If you need further explanation/help, just comment and ask.. be glad to help :D
