The Challenge
This post is in response to the Writing 201 – Poetry challenge day 1 labeled Water. It talks about using a haiku which is used with a syllable pattern of 5-7-5. The topic is meant to be something involving water. This is my first attempt at a haiku so any advice would be useful. Thank you for reading and I hope you check out the other people taking part in the challenge.
The Poem
Life is like a sea.
Sometimes full and sometimes bare.
It acts as an oasis.
interesting thought that something that can be both full or bare could be an oasis. One comment on your form is that you went 5-7-7 instead of 5-7-5, but sometimes, writing poetry can also be about *breaking* the rules.
Yeah I wrote it faster and kind of got a little bit confused halfway through and started thinking of the wrong thing. Thanks Bryan.
