Here’s another entry in my continuing search for new poetic constraints. Monosyllabic haiku contain three one-syllable words, with 5, 7, and 5 letters. And here are seven examples:
moose
springs
forth
tweak
twelfth
shelf
cheap
schlock
sells
bears
scratch
backs
white
wraiths
whirl
swill
thrills
swine
frail
scrolls
crack

Very nice, Doug. I’m currently working with a constraint imposed by an aging technological artefact: the letters y, o, u and i on my MacPro laptop have stopped functioning. I’m writing this on a plug-in keyboard. But have been seeing what I can do with only a and e available in the interconsonental spaces.

That means no first or second person. You’ll have to become an omniscient narrator.
