Post-post-modernism

I have been so slack with posting since summer but I am determined to get back into it this year and really have fun with writing in my final stages of Uni. With dissertation and final assessments I’m definitely going to need some fun!

So far in my third year I’ve been trying to get my head around modernist poetry, me and poetry aren’t the best of friends anyways so I’ve been struggling. So for a laugh (and a bit of procrastination) my friend and I have been making silly ‘post-post-modernist’ poems to try and wrap our heads around it all. Here’s a couple, eat your heart out Mr T. S. Eliot…

Experimental Haiku- Darkness

So I stumbled across a blog dedicated to a year-long Haiku challenge. I can talk non-stop, so it’s fair to say that this challenging form intrigued me and I had to give it a try. 

Sunlight fades away

twilight merging into dark

there you are, waiting.
