Two Meaning 5-7-5 Poetry
Poetry Contest
For this contest you are to write a short poem of only three lines. The structure is that of a Haiku: The first line has 5 syllables. The second line has 7 syllables. The third line has 5 syllables again. The poem must have a title and a have a photograph or picture of an animal or animals of the same type.
Every line of the 5-7-5 must be about the pictured animal. It must also have a title, and here is the twist. This title must be independent of the picture, the poem must also be able to be read as though it is solely about the title.
