micropoetry x 4

#2.  Write a Kimo on the subject of [jealousy] images – focused on a single frozen image (like a snapshot).

mental images, those on devices
are memories of loved ones
and our special moments

a Kimo has 3 lines; No rhymes [oops one right there!]; 10 syllables in 1st line, 7 in 2nd; 6 in 3rd.

#4. Write a Hay(na)ku about [hate] late.

lateness
steals my
time, it’s crime!

Hay(na)ku is a 3-line poem with one word in 1st line, two words in 2nd and three 3rd. There are no restrictions beyond this.

 

#5 Write a Naani about [time] naan, not bounded to a particular subject, depends upon human relations

naan is a delicious
Indian bread
used to scoop up
my meal, it’s ideal

Naani is 4 lines, the total consists of 20 to 25 syllables, this one has 20 syllables

#6. Write an Oddquain about [poverty] fear, something that is eating away at many of us.

fear
unfounded
about things unknown
stealing our calm causing harm
breath

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. Definitely not my favourite!

two more for Val’s ASH challenge! – sorry Val changed it to topics that fitted for me!

  1. Haha! I love your topics and the Naani on Naan is delicious! I had a box mix for naan and gave it a try – it tasted great but wasn’t near as pretty as the naan made by the professionals! As for the rest I have to say that the Hay(na)ku is so very good! You really mastered the conciseness of this form… These were worth the wait!!

    OHMYGOSH! The last one really touched my heart and soul! I need to memorize that one so I can quote it often.
    Whether you write Micro or Macro or Midco (Medium/Middle-sized! HA! 😀 ) poems, you write so beautifully! 🙂
