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
