lone rooted tree yearns
for full moon's
freedom to wander

Author Notes
* The fanstory lune contest calls for 5/3/5 syllables but the original lune is 3/5/3 syllables or 3/5/3 words.
LUNE is a short poem with three lines, similar to haiku. Lune poetry originated when American poets noticed that writing a haiku in English isn't the same as writing one in Japanese. Japanese words tend to have more syllables than English words, allowing English-language haiku poets to cram more words into the form. American poet, Robert Kelly, created the lune in the 1960s. THE KELLY LUNE consists of 3/5/3 SYLLABLES. It was named after its shape, which resembles a crescent moon. Later, poet JACK COLLOM came up with the word-count-variant 3/5/3 WORDS. Each line can stand alone as a complete thought, or grammatically connected to other lines. click here to see rules
