Hey everyone, I hope it’s been a good week!
Today, I wanted to try a poetry prompt from a notebook I have called Write the Poem. It gives you a one word prompt, with a list of “Word Associations” on the side. I decided to write a set of Haiku’s, because I never really write Haiku’s and it seemed like a fun thing to do 👌
If you want to try it out yourself here you go!
| Prompt | Word Associations |
|---|---|
| Smile | Grin Laugh Amusement Delight Smirk Beam Dimple Lips |
Note: As I was editing, I learned how terrible I am at counting 😂 I wrote these according to the standard 5-7-5 format… or tried to at least! Hopefully my ability to count the amount of syllables in a phrase has improved!
That smile right there,
Was enough for anyone
To be enchanted.
That goddamn dimple,
Has made me do stupid things,
Because I saw love.
I was taken by
That laugh which would fill a room,
Never reaching their eyes.
I thought he was nice,
With that one beaming smile,
Which hid everything.
The last thing I saw
Was that dumb smirk on his face
As I ran away.
Thanks for reading, and I will see you next week with a new post!
