WRITE A ONE-LINE HAIKU writing prompt entry
Writing Prompt Example (author unknown): "my barn having burned to the ground, I can now see the moon." Notice this uses CONCRETE IMAGES (the barn, the moon). NOT PHILOSOPHY OR ADVICE (does not say "Look on the bright side" or "Materialism affects our outlook on life" - It leaves that for the reader to figure out). It does not use clever poeticisms (like excessive alliteration, rhyme, simile or metaphor). FOR THIS CONTEST USE: only one line no more than 14 syllables (fewer is okay) present tense (concentrate on this moment) concrete, objective images (something you can see, hear, touch or smell) minimal punctuation and capitalization no personification no simile no overt metaphor a nature or seasonal reference no art work no author notes for description line use only: "one-line haiku" for title use only: "haiku (few words from first of poem)" |
