The End Or Something Like It (Hour 19, A Lowku)

 

The End or Something Like It

 

The clock’s incessant ticking

resonates loudly

in my ears. The end is near.

 

****I literally just invented the lowku by exhausted inattention. While I had planned to pen a haiku, my muddled mind mistakenly reversed the syllabic count of each line. So rather than the syllabically structured 5/7/5 composition of traditional haiku, the lovely lowku is made up of three lines, where lines one and three contain 7 syllables and line two has only five syllables.****

  1. A new genre is born
    When i saw lowku, i was like,
    i never heared of This before.
    It is à great invention.
    And à great poem
    I love the feeling of expectation the ticking clock enacts, like something is about to happen.
