Day 1 - Fools
Day 1: poem prompts were: to write a poem with some definition of fool in it.
From the NaPoWriMo.net site - the prompt was a challenge you to write a lune. This is a sort of English-language haiku. While the haiku is a three-line poem with a 5-7-5 syllable count, the lune is a three-line poem with a 5-3-5 syllable count. There’s also a variant based on word-count, instead of syllable count, where the poem still has three lines, but the first line has five words, the second line has three words, and the third line has five words again. Either kind will do, and you can write a one-lune poem, or write a poem consisting of multiple stanzas of lunes.
I played with this one this morning in a notebook. First I did an Acronym of FOOLS....
Forgotten Ophs Ordinarily Lie Stupidly
I tried a few others as well, but another attempt I liked was this:
Wisdom slips
Like melted butter
It drips and slides
Leaving a mess
That resembles
Only a fool.
To try a lune:
5-3-5 with words as the syllable counts...
Watch a man fall flat
Pick his words
And try to be smart.
