No answer your dusty robe hangs outside the closet — inside bones await the key © Kåre Enga [182.33a] (17 syllables) Task Prompt: Write a haiku that breaks the rules of traditional Western haiku—but still feels like a haiku. Note: 17 syllables is haiku-ish (not a haiku) in my opinion and haikus don't really have a title. More like a haiku (still needs work imho): bones inside a closet — dusty bolted door [182.33b] (11 syllables, 1, 2, or 3 lines) Another breaking of rules: Waiting for a call Without friends I sat inside my closet, hid for what seemed an eternity. I waited over twenty-six years, for what seemed almost an eternity, then we met in South Carolina, our friendship destined for eternity. I rejoiced for twenty-four short years, knowing we would last an eternity. I haven't heard your voice for two decades, must I wait until eternity? My wrinkled robe hangs outside the closet, inside bones await eternity. [182.33c] (6 lines of 19 syllable lines, like a ghazal or a vahid) |
Baaad dust bunnies We wrap ourselves around a firestorm, shroud ourselves inside a waterspout. We seek to settle our dispute with fire, wind, and water. © Kåre Enga [182.32] Prize Prompt: The most nefarious thing dust bunnies are likely to plot. |
