Blogging from A to Z Challenge: M is for… (#AtoZChallenge)

Welcome to my April 2024 Great and Powerful Blogging from A to Z Challenge!

I’ve revealed my theme (A poem a day…with picture), and of course, I am unashamedly blogging my theme letters on the fly.  So, here goes nothing!

So, without further ado, M is for .... Monoku. “A Monoku is a type of poem which is made up of a single horizontal line. Traditionally considered as a haiku writing, it is currently accepted as a variant of the haiku form of poetry. Unlike the Haiku which is made up of three outlines with a total of seventeen syllables, Monoku features a single line consisting of seventeen syllables or even fewer. It contains a pause brought about by speech rhythm with slight or no punctuation. The first letter should not be capitalized – but instead written in lower case.

7am is too early — for heavy machinery.

Thanks for visiting my 2024 A to Z Challenge – Letter M.

Guess I’m kind of going rogue too…although I do like using the “official” letters…

  1. Yes, it sure is! Interesting way to do a poem, and I like the pause in it. 🙂

  2. That’s a fun variant of haiku.
