Becky’s Haiku: Vast and Clear
9 Replies
One winter day a
Sundog did appear when the
Sky was vast and clear.
I have just attempted yet another haiku challenge from Ronovan Writes blog using the words “vast” and “clear”. I am enjoying the challenge of trying to use such seemingly different and even opposite words in such a short poem. If you like poetry challenges and haiku’s then I invite you to also accept his latest challenge at this link: https://ronovanwrites.wordpress.com/category/haiku-prompt-challenge/
Poetry 201 Assignment 2: Limericks, Journey, and Alliteration
Okay, I am in day two of this poetry class and our assignment is to write a limerick containing a journey and alliteration. Limericks are known to be humorous and writing humor is quite a challenge for me. And composing one limerick with a journey and alliteration was a bit much so I wrote two separate limericks to accomplish this assignment. One focuses on a journey I once embarked on while the other limerick as an attempt at a more humorous alliteration. Do you think I completed the assignment correctly? I will say, I had fun creating these two short poems and I hope you enjoy them.
Surprising Journey
One day I began a journey
When it was cold and blustery
In the sky I gazed
And was quite amazed
To see a sundog watching me
Bessie Boo
Bessie Boo bought ballerina shoes
Dyed in black and blinding blue
She met a bashful knight
Who could not dance just right
And banged her toes all black and blue
