Today is Q

 

Today we are trying a Quinzaine... an unrhymed verse of fifteen syllables. The word comes from the French word quinze, meaning fifteen. The syllables are distributed over three lines so that there are seven syllables in the first line, five in the second line, and three in the third line (7/5/3). The first line makes a statement. The next two lines ask a question relating to that statement.

OURS IS...

 

 

Quaint is the mountain life.

Who needs the city...

Or the smog??

 

 

YOUR TURN

NaPoWriMo: 30 NEW Writing Prompts for National Poetry Month 2011

20. Remove your shoes. Write a poem that celebrates your feet.

FEET

Born with two, so happily

I've learned to walk tall

dancing in the falling rain

kicking up my heals in the fall

I've stubbed a toe a time or two

and wiggled them in mud so cool

I'm glad they carry me so strong

I love my feet... THEY RULE !!

LOL...

NaPoWriMo: 30 NEW Writing Prompts for National Poetry Month 2011

19. Close your eyes and listen to the sounds around you. If the sounds are peaceful, write a poem with a violent word as the title. If the sounds are loud, write a poem with a kind word as the title.

SILENCE

Televisions blaring the same old news

killing in the streets hearts being used

for once in world can we please find

a way to bring peace, is anyone kind?

No more to hear that same old boring *hit

For once I would like to hear silence a bit

so off I went to the garden one more time

and silence filled my heart and my mind !

This one was another struggle ... hope you all like it !

YOUR TURN
ENJOY
