@ec_poetry I have an idea for a scheme challenge. I've used this style before (I call it Kawatta Haiku). The rules are pretty simple: It is written as a regular poem (as in all the same topic) but the first three stanzas are Haikus, the fourth is a "half" Haiku (syllable is 3-5-3) and the last line is 4 syllables. The last line of the first 3 stanzas need to have a common phrase or word used. (Used first in Midnight over in my other poetry book)
High School
Smell of teen-aged angst
Crowded yet always alone
Small and sad and scared
Sometimes it gets better
Surrounded by loyal friends
Loved and lived and lushed
But sometimes they leave
More alone than before
Shrunk and squashed and sapped
Why is it
That it always goes
Just like that
One day, I'll change

River Flow: Poetry
PoëzieHR: 289 This is my book for a 30 day writing challenge-esque camp for Poetry. I hope to complete it all. All of these poems will be my original work, and my favorites will be moved to my regular poetry book.
