Monoku

A haiku in a single horizontal line.

A Monoku is a type of poem which is made up of a single horizontal line. Traditionally considered
as a haiku writing, it is currently accepted as a variant of the haiku form of poetry.

Unlike the Haiku which is made up of three outlines with a total of seventeen syllables,
Monoku features a single line consisting of seventeen syllables or even fewer.

It contains a pause brought about by speech rhythm with slight or no punctuation. The first letter
should not be capitalized -instead written in lower case.


1.millionaire's theft- neighbour's mansion

2.first drizzle's fragrance- love at first sight

3."I'm the king"-lion says.."I'm the lion"king says.."who's the captive..? "

4.love at first sight-butterflies; at peak-fire flies; lastvision-love's blind

5.an epitaph reads- "come inside to read me"

You have given the characteristic of a 'Monoku' clearly that it is made up of a single horizontal line having seventeen syllables or few less.It contains a pause brought about by speech rhythm with slight or no punctuation. The first letter should not be capitalized -instead written in lower case. You have composed here five Monoku that I have read. Thanks for sharing madam.
