Almost to the end of NaPoWriMo! Today’s optional prompt was “write your own poem in which all the verses contain the same number of lines (whether couplets, triplets, quatrains, etc.) and in which you give the reader instructions of some kind.” LOL I didn’t do that exactly but I did string together three haiku (which I often do anyway) and a tanka because you know living better with math (3×3)+5=sonnet.
What of changing forms
are you missing haiku too?
join me this morningI pursued sonnets
a whole month of fourteen lines
it was quite spaciousPetrarch hadn’t heard
of anything like haiku
so he did his thingwriting just sonnets
was a good break from haiku
with more wriggle room
now make paths to brevity
budding trees whisper to sky
