I have chosen to work with the "creative" option for this week's journal assignment.
Haiku
Wind wisps through my hair
The leaves dance about the ground
Summer sun had died.
Limerick
An old man of Newfoundland,
Was upset and took a stand.
Beer prices got higher,
He wanted to inspire,
Beer is the past time of Newfoundland!
In reflection, the form of my writing that influenced the content was very restricted. The Haiku poem obviously can only contain certain syllables within the three lines and has to portray an image or feeling. In saying this, the poem is usually in reference to a season. With these guidelines I felt very restricted in creatively writing the poem. However, the Limerick poem gave a little bit more freedom in creativity, but still provides some restrictions. These restrictions being (AABBA) rhyme scheme, etc. With that being said, I really enjoyed the fun "goofy" approach of Limerick poems with their "up beat" nature.
