Lune Poetic Form #Lune #Poetry

 

The Lune was created by American poet Robert Kelly as the American Haiku. Frustrated by the challenges of adapting the Haiku to the English language, he reduced the tercet to a 5/3/5 syllable arrangement instead of the 7/5/7 of the Haiku. He removed any other rules. There is no nature requirement and rhyming is acceptable.

Here is an example of a Lune I’ve written in the past:
Bustle hums
Cruising at lightspeed
Towards a crash
