So April is National Poetry Month. During the entire month of April writers are supposed to compose one poem a day. I understand not everyone can write an entire lengthy poem everyday so I challenge you all to write a haiku a day and post it here with me. What is a haiku you ask, well I'd love to inform you. A haiku is a poem consisting of 17 syllables (traditionally there is a 5/7/5 format but don't worry about it). So that's it, 17 syllables a day for 30 days. I hope to see all of your beautiful haiku. Here are my three which I've completed for the first 3 days of April.
1. Cracks are running down my neck from the bomb shelter I’ve built above it.
2. Your lips are rusting shut because the shit you say is getting to old.
3. Love tastes bitter like a saxophone reed, it’s why falling feels so sharp.
