Lesson 7...The Lune I, and Lune II
Lesson 7 for PP 1
Rated:
E
by
This item requires reviews with ratings.
The Lune I is a short, simple poem. It consists of three lines, and can be considered the American answer to the Haiku. The Lune was created by Robert Kelly in the 1860's.

The Lune is written with 13 syllables dispersed over three lines with no restrictions.

Lune Structure:

Line 1...5 syllables
Line 2...3 syllables
Line 3...5 syllables


Because the Lune is so short, like the Haiku, you need a single subject for your topic.

Lune 1 Examples:

Babies
Babies always cry,
eat and sleep,
then they cry some more.


Birds
Birds, they love to fly
in weather
that's not so windy.


The Lune II is built in words rather than syllables. This form was created by Jack Collom.

Lune II Structure:

Line 1...3 words
Line 2...5 words
Line 3...3 words


Lune II Examples:

Cats
I love cats
that always like to play
but don't scratch.


The Sun
The sun hides
behind clouds of stormy gray
yielding to rain.


Discussion Topic:
Why do you think it's important to keep your subject for a Lune 1, or a Lune II simple?

Assignment:
Write three each of the Lune 1, and the Lune II as described in this lesson.
