POEM STARTER
Write a series of five Haiku set at the same event, exploring the five senses: sight, smell, sound, touch, taste.
A Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry, consisting of three lines that generally do not rhyme, with a syllabic structure of 5-7-5.
Loss
Your eyes stare in front
The fluorescent lights flicker
You can’t believe it
You take a deep breath
But your lungs contract inward
Your nose is running
You fall down slowly
Knees hitting the cold hard ground
A hand on your back
You find yourself mute
Mouth agape and tremebling
A distant hand soothes
Your tears and snot fall
Into your wavering mouth
You barely taste it
