A few years back I was introduced to a snazzy little poetic form called the hay(na)ku.
I've heard some things described as taking seconds to learn and a lifetime to master.
Well, hay(na)ku takes seconds to learn and, as often as not, seconds to master.
It's simply this:
A 3-line poem.
The first line contains 1 word.
The second line contains 2 words.
The third line contains 3 words.
They can also be done the opposite way, with the first line having 3 words, etc.
Titled or untitled, take your pick.
An example I wrote a couple of years ago:
Cat,
my toes
are not kibble.
Another from a series I wrote after going to a baseball game:
Ear
to beercup.
Hear the ocean.
Okay, you have the rules. You have examples. Ready, get set, write!
Edit: I just realized maybe this should go in games. Ack.
