LITERARY IMPULSE DAY 6 PROMPT: KINTSUGI
Kintsugi
A Kimo Poem
And thus, his lilting poetic verses,
did act as a kintsugi,
for her fragmented heart.
Kimo poems are an Israeli version of haiku. Apparently, there was a need for more syllables in Hebrew. That said, most of the rules are still familiar:
- 3 lines.
- No rhymes.
- 10 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second, and 6 in the third.
This piece is in response to our National Poetry Month Event that has just begun. Please navigate to the below link and participate; we have some amazing prompts coming up in the course of this month!
