I'm posting late
because I was so tired last night that I couldn't keep my eyes open. I went to
bed and had a dream visit from my dad. That hasn't happened in a long
time, so it was extra nice.
The
prompt for day eighteen is as follows: For today’s prompt, pick 2 vowels
and write a poem using words that only contain one or both of those vowels. For
instance, write a poem with words that only have a “u” and “o.” Also, the
letter “y” is wild–so the words “my” and “gypsy” are freebies. And I’ll allow
text-speak (or maybe I should say “txt spk”).
I planned to write a haiku, but as you will see there is an extra syllable in the third line. I'm still happy with it though.

Linda, don't worry about syllable count. So many people are fixated on that old 5-7-5 rule but modern haiku or senyru are basically consist of three lines short-long-short.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to have a dream visit. :-)
Darn. I so often reply in the wrong box. See below! :-)
DeleteTrue. But I was going for the pure form and did not quite succeed here. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you, Linda. xo
