Another Apocalyptic Haiku

One of my assignments this week was to remix/redo/update a project that I have already completed during this semester. I decided that I would redo the three-star assignment “Haiku it up” from the writing assignment bank.

The original was posted on February 3rd, and it is now March 25th! The first time around, this was what I created:

Our world was gorgeous.

 The apocalypse took it away.

 Now we wear gas masks.

Now for the updated/remixed version!

The road is empty.

Once in a while I see you.

Someday this will end.


BEHIND THE SCENES OF THIS POST: 

For this assignment, I redid an assignment I found in the DS106 Assignment Bank back in February. I really enjoyed this assignment the first time, and when I saw that one of our assignments for this week was to remix/redo one of our past assignments, I knew I wanted to write another haiku, with a different picture. Both times, I used WriteAHaiku.com to create my haikus because it really helped me keep track of the syllables I had in each line. It was so useful! I found these images from Unsplash.com. I loved the colors and I thought they were so perfect to illustrate the apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic world.

The Day I almost Turned

I did this three star assingment by using a poem to paint a picture of zombies coming to attack my home, at which point I ran underground to escape them. I choose this picture because it was showing the zombie finally breaking through but I was nowhere to be found.

All Zombies are wanting gore

Haiku it Up

I’m not really sure what the random dailyshoot photograph is so I decided to use a random photograph I’ve taken for inspiration of this Haiku:

The sky keeps changing

Trees leaves are always on loop

Nature’s precious like us

Cool Hand Luke’s Dinner

This three star assignment was to take an image from the daily shoot and write a haiku about it. After searching through a few images, I chose this one because it seemed the easiest to relate to the western theme. I don’t think I have ever seen a western movie that they didn’t eat beans at least once.

 

Eat beans on the trail
No can opener in sight
Guess I need a rock

Seven days this week
I can’t eat another can
Some beef sounds better

Moto-haiku

Little throwback!

This assignment was to create a haiku using a picture.  This picture is also featured on my flickr website, so checkout my profile! This picture is of me on a friend’s motocross track.  It was much nicer that day than it is now.  Motocross has been a part of my life for fifteen years.  Ever since I was 4 years old, I remember being on a motorcycle. I also am now the proud owner of a Harley Davidson Nightster.  Ok, enough of that.  Here is my haiku:

Sunny days, gear up,

Throttle pinned back, hit the jump,

Freedom, beauty, peace.

Haiku It Up

Photo274

This assignment was to create a haiku using a picture that you took. This is a picture I took during the last harvesting season. The haiku will be told through my character’s view.

The air is dusty again

but the dream is so clear

the land is our future

Little poem, big message!

This haiku was inspired from a photo that I took after a summer basketball workout at Pratt Park in Fredericksburg, Virginia, my hometown! I love this image because my goal to play college basketball was realized when I made the UMW women’s basketball team! The hard work that I put in during the off-season helped … Continue reading Little poem, big message!

Merry go round

This was a random picture of a merry go round that I love along with a haiku that I thought could go with it. I was raining that day and the ride was fenced off like it has been unused for a while.

 

unknown mystery

creepy faces in the rain

abandon circle

marry go round

_cokwr: For the writing assignment, take a random Dailyshoot photograph and create a haiku using that image. Let the image inspire you to create a poetic haiku. Don't know what a haiku is? The most common form for Haiku is three short lines. The first line usually contains five (5) syllables, the second line seven (7) syllables, and the third line contains five (5) syllables. Haiku doesn't rhyme., _cpzh4: Writing, _chk2m: anagahama, _ciyn3: 104, _ckd7g: , _clrrx: , _cztg3:
