Day 24 Prompt – MIXING PROMPTS TO INSPIRE HAIKU
National Haiku Writing Month is almost over. A variety of prompts
have challenged us to work with our words. Some challenges were technical;
others were topical. Anyone looking for a more intense challenge can combine prompts.
That’s right! We can write haiku using two or more prompts at the same time.
Easing ourselves into this challenge, we can add a topical
challenge to a technical one. Looking back over the month, it would not be too
difficult to write haiku that incorporates multiple senses that includes only
words that contain at least 4 letters each. A six word haiku can be a found poem. Another, more challenging, approach
might be to alliterate an entire poem created using a haiku written by someone
else as a template. Not all prompts are compatible, and cannot be combined, but
many are.
How many ways can techniques and topics, found here, be combined?
Wow. Mixing writing prompts IS challenging Cheryl! I will definitely have to try that!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the opportunity to participate in National Haiku Writing Month, (which I previously didnt know existed)!
I looked forward to writing my haikus (most) days and I’m sad that the month is over.
