Third Challenge: Paranormal Haiku

2/6/2012

 
The good news is that I made it to the next challenge. The great news is that my friend Monelle was the top winner for last week. She has great voice and is very clever. And I can tell you exactly where she was when I heard the news (before her). This week's challenge is to write a paranormal haiku. Wow. That will be a challenge. I thought we could go on a search together to find out what those two elements mean.

Paranormal: Wikipedia says that it deals with experience that are outside the range of normal experience or scientific explanation. Subjects include ghosts, extraterrestrial life, unidentified flying objects, and cryptids. Okay. Maybe I can be psychic about where I will end up when I go away to college (see last week's entry). Of course, I already know that now.

Haiku: From Kidzone I learned that it is a poem with 3 lines, first line 5 syllables, second line 7 syllables, third line 5 syllables. Here is their example:

I am first with five
Then seven in the middle --
Five again to end.

Kidzone also says that because haiku are so short they have to be easily recognizable to the reader. It suggests doing a riddle like "What am I?"
I'll try my hand at a simple one to get the idea.

Colored at Christmas
Switch on, click on, or clap on
I can see clearly.
What am I?
Lights
​
Wish me luck!
