Premium Member Bubba's Poem Barn 5

Good morning - today, I share the secrets of the great eastern poets. Here’s how to write fancy:


senryu, haiku:
first, centers on you; second,
hike you stay out of

to write a monoku, start with a haiku and put it on one line

a crystalline is a monoku
that rhymes when broken into two

it can’t be hard
to string together
a questionku, can it?

split
seventeen
syllables up like
this to get the oddquain
form


Or, as Bubba woud say, you’ll be:

sliding several
syllabic slippery slopes
slicker than snail snot


----------

tongue-in-cheek, of course - one could spend a life on these forms and not get them, but Bubba's still learning the ropes... :-)

Premium Member Strange Wind Blowing

a Crown Oddquain poem

Strange
wind blowing,
a cold harbinger 
of darker things to follow
soon. 

Much
closer now 
than the day before,
much closer now than sages
know..

Yes,
bad fortune
is nigh upon us,
and yet we will not listen
still. 

Do
we forget
every past lesson,
all those we lost in senseless 
war?

Blast
us into
mass oblivion,
let nature grow the garden
new. 

Oddquain is a short, usually unrhymed poem consisting of seventeen syllables distributed 1, 3, 5, 7, 1 in five lines, developed by Glenda L. Hand.
