My Contagious Disease

I wrote a Monoku about bamboo and Zen ~ found it fun, and then

I was totally obsessed with writing more ~ so I wrote twenty-four

monokumania is a disease ~ with rhyming end words ~ yes, please

seventeen syllables per line ~ if you get addicted, it's a sign

that you have been infected, for sure ~ it's contagious and there's no cure

* Credit to David Kavanagh for the word-Monokumania.

Paul Willason Date: 5/12/2024 4:58:00 PM Hi Lin....I daresay a harmless obsession that provides excellent exercise for the brain, a vitamin pill for creativity and a treat for the lucky visitor...good one dear Lin....
Sara Etgen-Baker Date: 5/12/2024 4:26:00 PM loved it, Lin! I liked 'Monokumania.' Addicted with no known cure! I appreciate your humor and creativity. Have a splendid evening, hugs, Sara
Tom Cunningham Date: 5/12/2024 12:43:00 PM Well I learned a new word today Lin, I wonder is there a cure or do you learn to live with it Lol Tom
David Kavanagh Date: 5/12/2024 11:06:00 AM Ha! now where did you find that monokumania word, they really are addictive and almost a (high) when they come together just like your series here, alas I have plenty that have failed, but that’s part of the challenge of rhyming and syllable counting them, I enjoyed reading, and what a great line to finish on, cheers David
