lune


Lune

The lune is a three-line poem with a specific syllable count (3,5,3) in each line. Its format is based on the Haiku, with changes in the amount of syllables to accommodate the style of the English language. Traditionally, these poems were meant to express a simple truth, and usually incorporated nature. You may write your lunes on any topic you like. 

Please write 10 lunes. They are due at the end of the period.

  1. 1.) Hangs from trees.
    Sleeps every day.
    Sloths don’t move.

    2.) Break the wave.
    Sail through the challenge.
    Counter fear.

    3.) Changing scene.
    Soaring rapidly.
    Life goes on.

    4.) Stormy skies.
    Ferocious rain drops.
    Hurricanes.

    5.) Stop the noise.
    Let the quiet in.
    Breath of peace.

    6.) Striking scene.
    Reflecting sun’s rays.
    Nature calls.

    7.) Green roofing.
    Moist soil beneath feet.
    Calm jungle.

    8.) Lying down.
    Crashing waves on shore.
    Soothing feel.

    9.) Walking tall.
    Making up your mind.
    Survival.

    10.) Powers on.
    Moves at speed of light.
    The city.

  3. You and me
    It’s the way to be
    Together

    Chatterbox
    A mouth that won’t stop
    Please stop it

    You’re yelling
    Unnecessary
    Please calm down

    Live like love
    Like you could lose it
    Don’t let go

    Close it out
    Like you close your door
    Forget it

    Do not fret
    It will be alright
    Don’t give up


    Make life last
    Life is a present
    Not to waste

    I really can’t wait
    Hurry up!

    Where to go
    When there is no place
    Run away

    Forget it

  4. Truth is all.
    It lets one be free.
    My freedom

    Great is thee,
    Thee who fills my heart.
    Come to me.

    Little girl,
    You are so very sad.
    Please don’t cry.

    You are mine.
    You are mine to keep.
    Stay with me.

    I love you.
    I love all of you;
    Everything.

    So fearful.
    I am not ready.
    But time flies.

    Time goes by;
    It’s too quick for me.
    Can’t keep up.

    Tears fall down.
    My heart breaks apart.
    I’m ruined.

    Love is pain.
    It gets your hopes up,
    And it leaves.

    Comprehend
    Please, understand me,
    Cause I don’t.

  5. 1. The disappear
    of the wretched town
    the tears shed

    2. Love and war
    the world is breaking
    who will help?

    3. Great friendship
    bond formed out of love
    two of us

    4. The sunrise
    showing us new hope
    in a world so dark

    5. The sun sets
    beach and ocean clears
    breathtaking

    6. Family feud
    the death of two souls
    united

    7. Keys typing
    the gears turn and twist
    words appear

    8. The tears fall
    the poor sister stares
    blood dripping

    9. Ring sparkles
    the sun shines brightly
    joy tears fall

    10. The story
    the words unspoken
    forbidden

  6. What I want
    Is what I can’t have
    Why can’t I?

    People do
    Well it seems like it
    They’re lucky

    I want luck
    I’m deprived of it
    How tragic

    I’m at lost
    Looking to be found
    But I’m not

    I go up
    Just to get pulled down
    Now I’m down

    I’m in search
    It seems so easy
    It is not

    I want it
    I’m striving for it
    Not there yet

    I wonder
    Why I’m wanting what
    I can’t have

    I don’t know
    I have no answer
    I just want

    I’ll get it
    One day, I know it
    I hope soon.

  7. Lunes
    Freedom is
    A mere state of mind
    Nothing more
    Musty air
    Disgusting with weight
    And moisture
    Nemesis
    The bane of being
    Eternal
    Fiction is
    Just something that you
    Don’t believe
    The unseen
    Will you believe it?
    Have some faith
    Collapsing
    Deteriorate
    Fade away
    A Dream World
    Filled with corruption
    A Nightmare
    Canada
    America’s hat
    Wonderful
    Destruction
    A Baron Wasteland
    End of time
    The button
    Good and bad will come
    Will you press?

  8. Clouded skies
    Keeps away the sun.
    Darkness comes.

    The sunshine,
    Brightens up the world.
    It brings warmth.

    Delicious,
    Caramel flavored,
    Hot coffee.

    Chocolate
    Bar, cake, or ice cream
    Happiness.

    Tomorrow.
    May be different.
    Yesterday.

    I hug you,
    To show you my love,
    I kiss you.


    I listen,
    To you carefully.
    We both learn.

    My baby
    Is Ja’uan Donte.
    I love him.

    A loser,
    You are because, you
    Are not fun.

    The future,
    Sometimes comes unseen
    Secretly.

  12. 1) Nights we spend
    on the Jersey shore
    to wash pain.

    2) You hear me
    we see each other
    I feel you

    3) Touch my back
    I'll touch your fortune
    Bite softly

    4) Take a breath
    I'll take away life
    Moments gap

    5) Trees whistle
    Crickets wings sound
    Nature sighs

    6) She agrees
    Quivering with thirst
    We achieve

    7) Greatness last
    The hourglass turns
    It began

    8) Atmosphere
    Smoother than a grape
    Full like mangos

    9) Fire rise
    She refuse to lie
    It closer

    10) I take charge
    She closes her eyes
    It's over.

    Lacks courage
    To fulfill his right
    To love Her

    She denies
    Will always insist
    Will not love

    You don’t claim
    To forever love
    Or cherish

    Silhouette
    Of Herself now gone
    Forever

    Tomorrow
    Shall come with joyful
    News of death

    Now in Her
    A heart to hold close
    Just don’t go

  15. Soft and cold
    The bear cuddles up
    With his mom

    Things get hard
    Life has ups and downs
    It goes on

    He saved her

    Red White Blue
    Colors of freedom
    But cops too

    Big blue eyes
    And a crooked smile
    Marked her face

    I hate school
    People annoy me

  16. Hello there
    My name is Morgan
    This is hard

    Do not hate
    Appreciate more
    Life to love

    I read books
    They are amazing,
    An escape

    I’m trying
    To broaden my views
    Living life

    Writing’s fun
    I do it a lot
    Not this way

    To protect
    One must let go of
    Who they love

    Sun and moon
    As different as
    Flame and ice

    To love is
    Never letting go
    Of the truth

    The leaves fall
    I can smell pumpkin
    Fall as come

    I hope for
    A better life where
    We all care

  17. The red dog
    Was a foolish dog
    And ate food.

    The wind blows
    Softly as the back
    Porch makes noise.

    I run ten
    Laps around the park.
    I’m tired.

    The halls are
    Quiet and the school
    Is empty.

    The book I
    Read was about a
    boy who died.

    I fear that
    I will fail classes
    That I need.

    O’clock and I can’t

  18. Temptation
    Overcomes our will
    And slays us

    The wind blows
    Shakes us to our souls
    And we feel

    Waterfalls
    Flow majestically
    Amongst us

    Cat steals food
    Refuses to yield
    And we starve

    The bird flies
    High above the ground,
    Astound us
