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"
