Hiding in pixels
Movies mirroring life’s mess
Seeing self on-screen
Living blind in reverse mode
Hurting is not virtual
I joined Writing 201: Poetry. This is my first assignment.
Poetry with the word “Screen.” The poetic form is haiku and the poetic device is alliteration. We could also combine haiku with tanka, which follows a 5-7-5-7-7 syllabic pattern.
Bear with me, I am no poet. I intend to have fun, and learn about poetry, without losing my followers along the way. 😉
You really went all out. I’m going to learn so much.
Hi Cathy! Thank you for reading it! Yes, it’s going to be a great place to learn.
Poetry is a little outside my comfort zone.
Join the club! Same here.
Oh, you’re writing poetry now! Hurray 🙂
Oops! You found out….
I might have had high fever when I registered for the course.
Please, be patient! 😉
You may call yourself no poet, but the words you have written definitely say otherwise. Loved what you wrote. Way to go fellow poet. Looking forward to more.
Best
I’m overwhelmed and grateful for your words. It’s encouraging. Thank you so much.
All the best.
You really captured the element of alliteration! This read beautifully 🙂 I particularly liked ‘movies mirroring life’s mess’ – great start! xx
Thanks for dropping by Hayley.
I’m humbled by your comment.
Great encouragement. Thanks. Xx
I like the juxtaposition of hiding and hurting.
Thank you!
Enjoyed this one. Last line was my favorite. I’m in the course too:)
Thank you! I read yours too. Very good! Left comment on your blog.
Fanfare stage left, Let the poetry commence, bravo Lucile!
Thank you! Let’s see where this brings me! 😉
So, your inner poet is finally released, bravo Lucile! x
Haha, I don’t know if there is one, Andy! I’m going to figure that one out! Lol
Well it’s going to be a great old time following!!!
Well, you’re the poet, so please shoot whenever you see me jumping from the cliff!
I’m no poet, I just make stuff up and hope, and no cliff jumping!!!
Ok, that’s my plan now! 😉
Will enjoy reading it all!
Thanks!
I like poetry and haiku, Lucile. Looking forward to seeing more of what you create.

Hi Janet, I know nothing about poetry, so please have patience with me! 😉
Xx
I like it! I’m taking the course too. Should be fun!
That’s wonderful news! A fellow blogger is my poetry buddy!!
Yay! The assignments are challenging but fun, aren’t they?
Well, Terri, I truly struggled today and have no idea if I wrote prose or else! Lol
I am already afraid of what is coming next but still daring to try!
How about you?
I struggled too, Lucile. I never heard odf a prose poem before! I think I just wrote a paragraph with flowery words but I did manage an internal rhyme! I will take a look at yours! Wonder what’s in store for us tonight?
It’s a relief to hear that! I’m going to read yours too!
I just did today’s and found it easier than yesterday, but hey, maybe I didn’t get it! Lol
You do a great job!
Thanks buddy! 🙂
Hurting is not virtual. Nice. I joined writing201 too. My haiku’s the “out of town experience”. Wanted to write something hinting at raunchy… 🙂
It’s good to know I’m not alone in the poetry jungle! And having a babe lioness for company! Hurray!!
Let’s party!
I’m in!
Has a nice theme, capped with great lines
Thank you for dropping by and for the kind comment.
Bear with you?? I can’t wait for more! Very well done, Lucile.
Lois, you’re the most supportive and encouraging person and I fell blessed to have you following my learning journey. Heartfelt thanks my dearest. 😘
Great job! I enjoyed it 😊
Thanks Christina. I also appreciate your visit.
Excellent stuff!
Thanks Nilla, I’m now venturing in your territory!! Please be critical so I can learn.
No one can write bad poetry as long as it comes from the heart 🙂 You learn by doing, I still write crappy poetry, but as long as one person likes it, it’ll do 😉
I hear you, and will keep that in mind! Thanks! 😉
This was fun to read, Lucile! Have fun with Writing 101 and I will look forward to your posts!
Hi Terri! Thanks. Let’s see if I survive till the end. It’s only day 2! Cheers!
I like the poem. And I like the thought behind it. I’m looking forward to seeing you develop as a poet. 🙂
Thanks Phoenix, it’s a great support. I’m totally out of my comfort zone.
That’s often a good thing. I’m sure it will become a comfort zone in time. 🙂
As we speak, I just delivered day 3 task and assure you it got me close to dropping out. Lol
Maybe you are more poet than you think😊
That would be a big surprise, Janice! Thanks.
