Let's get right to the poetry prompts today. Day 28 means 3 days to go, counting this one. Maureen Thorson’s NaPoWriMo suggestion: “[O]ur optional prompt for the day asks you to try your hand at writing a sijo. This is a traditional Korean verse form. A sijo has three lines of 14-16 syllables. The first line introduces the poem’s theme, the second discusses it, and the third line, which is divided into two sentences or clauses, ends the poem – usually with some kind of twist or surprise.” Robert Lee Brewer’s Poem-a-Day prompt: “[W]rite a dead poem. Back on day 13, we wrote living poems. Now, we're going to inspect the other side of that coin. A dead poem could take place at a funeral, or involve a wilting flower that's already been picked. Or it could involve the undead (like zombies and vampires). Or maybe a dead language, a dead culture, or as some people like to say, they're just ‘dead inside.’” Today I'm merging the prompts by writing a sijo on the TV show The Walking Dead. Note: there may be spoilers for you in the poem if you haven't watched the spinoff The Ones Who Live. The Future of The Walking Dead
