Līgo Haibun Challenge Word Prompt
Sitar OR Didgeridoo
A sturdy branch of Eucalyptus, pulled from the tree. Live with termites. Loosened with a stick. I take a long deep breath and blow hard. Termites sent heavenward to become stars of light. I name them.Yidaki, ngarrriralkpwina, yiraka, rirtakki, wuyimba, artawirr, garnbak, dijibolu, kurmur, ngaribi, bambu, martba, paampu illpirra. They will shine for all time, beacons of a language and culture, like so many others before it, plundered and misrepresented.

Great stuff Paul. You’ve inspired me to write about my own experience of the didgeridoo
Glad you liked it Suzanne
Lovely haibun Paul! It sings!
Thank You

This would look so good painted or stenciled on a wall at a college, or school or culture centre. This is EXACTLY how to get the message across. An inspiration for everyone.
Thanks Man 🙂
