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.
New Year’s In Times Square
Excitement in the
Air all around us. Our breath,
Fogs of beginnings.
A scent of churro
Lingers like a shroud of mist
In my nostril’s depths.
Trumpets sound, war drums—
A song of celebration.
And our throats give out,
Reaching for a hand
Among all the bodies, slick
With drops of moonlight.
My lovers lips still
Candied at the thought of mine,
Teeth rotten and sweet.
