Honing the Craft

Week 42 March 16 - Cinqku

St Patrick's Day

Shamrocks,
leprechauns
witty banter,
and everyone's Irish
today.

Equinox

It's just
four more days
before blossoms,
sunshine and light rain sing,
"It's Spring!"

Notes: ▼

Verse Form: Cinqku   is a 5 line haiku attributed to American poet Denis Garrison found at Poetry Bridge. It particularly explores the use of the line break and retains the maximum syllable count of the haiku. (Note: the haiku is a small poem of 17 syllables or less, the Cinqku is more restrictive with a strict syllable count of 17.) The Cinqku should have a turn or surprise in L4 and L5. The elements of the Cinqku are:
         1. a pentastich, a poem in 5 lines.
         2. syllabic. A strict syllable count of 2-3-4-6-2 syllables per line.
         3. composed with a turn or surprise in L4 or L5.
         4. untitled.

Sorry, couldn't help myself, I had to title these two little ditties.
