Aw come on people! Papapapaplease?

Another for the form above.

Masquerade

Well liquored
kittens pussyfoot around
men in enticing masked
mystery.

We need to step up this movement!


If you guys would post more and be active in my Threads ((My Challenge)) I'll be able to get more gold and will then be convinced that you guys want this and I'll do an ACTUAL CONTEST with PRIZES.
*HINT HINT hint hint hint!!!!!!*

Lovers, please be sure you don't copy/paste the exact same post or text in multiple threads. That's considered spamming and is an abuse of the gold system. If you could change part of your call to activity here, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

OMG!! participate.

Now this is a thread I enjoyed. So many different forms that I didn't know about. Very informative and you're poetry is most exquisite LNT! Amazing, absolutely amazing.

Tanka -- a five line poem

Tanka poems date back almost 1200 years ago, and they focus on nature, seasons, love, sadness and other strong emotions. However, students can experiment with any topic.

• line one has five syllables
• line two has seven syllables
• line three has five syllables
• line four has seven syllables
• line five has seven syllables

Example of Tanka -- Dancing Snow Dots

Snow drifts by my glass (5 syllables)
Spiders of ice form a branch (7 syllables)
Dancing on a breeze (5 syllables)
Small white dots move back and forth (7 syllables)
Sway to Mother Nature's call (7 syllables)

i haven't tried this one yet but i thought it looked interesting, kind of like a long haiku :P




Haiku -- a three line poem

Traditional Japanese haiku poems were about nature. However, students can experiment with any topic.

• line one has five syllables
• line two has seven syllables
• line three has five syllables

Example Haiku -- After the Rain

Sparrows circle high (5 syllables)
Sunny rays stream through gray skies (7 syllables)
Water drips from leaves (5 syllables)

a well known form of japanese poetry

My, my. I am very sorry for my absence, but I will be sure to update now and later add in my own examples for these.

And thank you Haruko!

My syllable poem:

Shh..
silly,
little twit
parading like
you shine brillance. Quit
blocking my rays
and we'll see
who's gold
sparks.
Horrible, but it is only an example. I'll actuall try later. lol.



My Haiku::

Gentle breezes toss
ribbons that once charmed your hair.
How I miss Summer.


My Tanka::
Lilly pad flowers
huddle at the water's edge
as if reaching for
you. Do they seek your scent, too,
wishing you'd pollonate them?

Bumpy!!!

But just so it counts. Please, people, make this active!!!!
