Heart of Darkness – Be Inspired Weekly Writing Challenge #23

This week’s poetry form for the Be Inspired Weekly Writing Challenge is a Monoku.

A Monoku is a senryu/haiku with a slight enigmatic/ambiguous flavour, written in its earlier Japanese form as a one liner. A ceaesura (pause) may be appropriate, dictated by sense or speech rhythm,and usually very little punctuation. Seveteen syllables or less. They may also be in a sequence form.

Here is my interpretation, I hope you enjoy.

Thanks for reading.

The Mighty Avenger – PTWWW – Be Inspired Weekly Challenge

For the Be Inspired Weekly Writing Challenge this time the poetic form is a Clerihew.

A clerihew is a whimsical, four-line biographical poem invented by Edmund Clerihew Bentley. The first line is the name of the poem’s subject, usually a famous person put in an absurd light. The rhyme scheme is AABB, and the rhymes are often forced. The line length and meter are irregular.

Here’s my interpretation:

 

Hidden Treasures Buried Deep: Be Inspired Writing Challenge #20

The Be Inspired Weekly Writing Challenge this week is to tackle a Memento poem (based on a holiday or anniversary). A Memento consists of two stanzas, with a syllable count of 8, 6, 2 – repeated twice in each stanza. The rhyme scheme is; a/b/c/a/b/c.

A tricky one this week, but I had a great deal of fun with it.

I hope you enjoyed my interpretation.

Thanks, as always, for reading.
