The American Lune is my poetry form focus for the week. The lune was created by Professor Robert Kelly. Apparently the right hand 'edge' of the poem should - to some extent - resemble a crescent moon. I challenge myself (and any blog readers) to have a go. The lune's syllabic count for its 3 lines is 5-3-5.The Jack Collum adaptation consists of 3 lines, with a word (not syllable) count of 3-5-3.
Lune examples can be found here: The Call of the Lune.
My first lune:
bats swoop from the moon
catching stars
in their fishing nets
