horror-fying 5-7-5
Poetry Contest
Can you be scary in just seventeen short syllables?
Do you think you've got what it takes to evoke a chill from your readers in such a brief verse?
If your answer is a resounding, "YES!", then this is your chance to shine.
Write a 5-7-5 poem that evokes feelings of horror, terror and, if you're really lucky, perhaps even revulsion in your readers.
A 5-7-5 follows the structure of a Haiku. It has three lines. The first line has 5 syllables. The second line has 7 syllables. The third line has 5 syllables again.
Don't eat yellow snow (5 syllables)
It's not healthy as you know (7 syllables)
Besides, it tastes bad! (5 syllables)
