Thank you to Eugi from Moonwashed Musings, for introducing me to the “Kimo” poetry format. >> https://amanpan.com/2024/05/29/kimo-5-29-24/
The Kimo is a tristich, a poem of three lines with 10/7/6 syllables. Kimo is an Israeli version of the haiku. Unrhymed. No title.
βAlso, the kimo is focused on a single frozen image (kind of like a snapshot). So itβs uncommon to have any movement happening in kimo poems.


# Kimo #
The dim three-quarter moon pauses and sighs
into the white horizon
“Now, it’s my turn to shine”
