Day 27 #SOL17
More oddquain poems
****************
After writing some oddquain poems (the poems have 5 lines total, with syllable counts of 1, 3, 5, 7, 1 on the lines) yesterday, I thought I'd try writing a few more today that were NOT all about nature, as mine usually are. I wrote two that were about emotions...and then another nature one snuck in on me. At that point, I wanted to get totally away from those themes, so I choose a not-so-deep subject -- a food (just to see if I could) -- for my last oddquain for today.
Monday's oddquains:
Self-Control
Fierce
emotion
tries to escape me
but I pull it back in, pause,
breathe.
Over the Moon
Joy
radiates
from every part
of her being; her sparkle
flows
Hiking
Traipse
consciously
through meadows and woods...
nature's sweet sights, sounds, and smells:
Life!
Lasagna
Hot
broad noodles,
thick with rich cheeses,
spicy sauce, and tasty meat:
Yummmmm
Okay, now I've made myself hungry. But I'm certainly having fun experimenting!

A perfect one to end today...and just in time for dinner. It is a surprisingly nimble poetic form.
ReplyDeleteI love your oddquain poems. I am going to have to try some out... My favorite is Over the Moon. I also liked how you challenged yourself to write about different subjects.
ReplyDeleteThese are delightful. I'm going to have to try my hand at them.
ReplyDeleteI wonder, do evenquains exist?
