Thought it would be fun to see what you all come up with on a whim. Try not to think about it too much; the spontaneity is what makes it fun!
Mine:
Darkness on sunny days, brightness in the dark. Every day.
“Give me a ten word poem”, they said.
Fuck that!I hadn’t started formulating yet, by this is the poem I wanted to write. Thank you!
Ten word requirement
It’s an interesting test
This one’s successful
Roses are red, violets blue. Some poems rhyme, this one doesn’t.
A woman from Kalamazoo
Whose limericks stopped at line two
It makes zero sense
To end with suspense
That’s not very nice, so fuck you!
I skipped breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Now I am drunk.
It sounds like you had barley sandwiches instead of food.
Baby shoes for sale, never worn.
Footless baby was born.Ten-word Haiku:
Summer heat
Gives way to Autumn chill
While I napI sit, pooping.
The cramps
come in
waves.
Send help.The apparition of these faces in a loo: Petals on a wet black poo.
My balls itch Irrate taint Just another day Bottom textThis ten word poem
Ends a little earlyNo.
I won’t.
Why should I?
I refuse on principle.
Sure, absolutely:
“Give me a ten-word poem”
Magical HaikuThe world is ending
And I wish you were here
Isn’t this haiku?
Wait, no, that’s with syllables
My bad, continue
But that’s 11 words!
Yeah I couldn’t figure out a way to make it just 10 words. Just wanted to do a haiku, I guess
Enormous potential inside all of us.
Too bad.
Capitalism.
