Writing Prompt: Haiku

Writing Prompt: Haiku

This week's Write On Writing Prompt is brought to us by Yuna, who had SO many great ideas, we couldn't choose just one. So take your pick from Yuna's "write-eous" ideas:

  1. Write a haiku about what you think will happen today.
  2. Who's your favorite author and why?

  3. What's your favorite book and why?

  4. Write an essay about how you would describe yourself.
  5. Write about a dream or nightmare you had.


I'm going for the haiku (a Japanese-inspired, short  3-line poem with a 5-7-5 syllable pattern) Mine is not the perfect amount of syllables, but you get the idea.

Early, I awaken,
Eat my Cheerios quickly,
Wish for gummy bears instead.

What about you guys? Haiku? Favorite book or author? Dream or nightmare you had? Inquiring minds want to know which writing prompt prompts YOU!

These are good poems, people!!

the crickets are chirping
the small flowers are blooming
spring has come now

Slavery was bad.
People were very rude.
That was horrible.

mine is great

Musings of Muses
by Dakota

At night when I
Watch the sky
And think
And feel
And dream
And imagine
And wonder
And dance
And sing
And realize
And know
That this dark is
Filled with
Light.

Ah! Some people say it has these many lines and the writing prompt says these many lines,I'm so confused!
