Welcome to the Saturday Mix – Lucky Dip, 13 June 2019!
For this week’s Lucky Dip, I have reached into my mystery bag and pulled out an Oddquain. The topic is up to you!
You may be thinking to yourself, What on earth is an Oddquain?
Luckily, Shadow Poetry has an explanation…
Oddquain
Oddquain is a short, usually unrhymed poem consisting of seventeen syllables distributed 1, 3, 5, 7, 1 in five lines, developed by Glenda L. Hand.
Oddquain variations:
Examples of Oddquain poetry
Example #1: Autumn
Fall
leaves floating
downward, spiral dance
of joy begun, welcoming
fall.Copyright © 2006 Glenda L. Hand
Example #2:
Change of Seasons (Mirror Oddquain)
Breeze
bites with cold
bitter now after
summer’s warmth has fled away–
fall
breeze
spirals gold and red leaves
mixed into colored
carpet, new
day.Copyright © 2006 Glenda L. Hand
Example #3:
Celebration (Butterfly Oddquain)
Child
dances in
September’s swirl of
leaves, golden colors form her
skirt
of dazzling freedom, twirling
into the final
fall to earth’s
armsCopyright © 2006 Glenda L. Hand
Example #4:
At Last I’ve Let Go (Crown Oddquain)
Love
happiness
once full of colour
now shards of disappointment
~fool~Prized
feelings crushed
beneath tumbled words
washed out with twilight raindrops
~gone~Pause
for much thought
and straightforwardness
shilly-shallying cut short
~stop~A
colourful
chalk, smudged to nothing
curtain call on future dreams
~lost~The
scented rains
that watered my soul
no longer wreaks disorder
