I’ve written a Badger Hexastich for Word Craft: Prose and Poetry, where the month’s theme is:
Memories: sweet & sour
Write your syllabic poetry based on memories: sweet & sour, which means your poetry must contain these concepts. Be creative. Remember, more than one stanza of the shorter syllabic forms will give you more room to expound. Have fun!
The Badger Hexastich is:
- a poem in 6 lines.
- syllabic, 2/4/6/6/4/2.
- unrhymed, optional rising and falling end-words.
- add a title for impact.
Hope you enjoyed it. Photo by Matheus Bertelli on Pexels.com.
Thanks for reading, and as always, I wish you miracles.
I’m a simple woman who dares to see the beauty in ordinary. I’d love to connect with you and like pen pals, I want something beautiful to blossom between us. Will you join me? Selma is my middle name. Its meaning—peaceful, complete, are euphoric affirmations I like to think of myself as having. They compliment the joy I feel when I write. I sincerely hope you decide to join me on my writing journey. I Wish You Miracles.

I grew up in cities… kept going to smaller towns. Now I know I’d miss the sky if I had to go back to a large city.
You miss that sky! I tell you. xoxo thanks for reading, Jules.
Once I stayed in the city… in a corner hotel room – and only saw that X of sky… I almost felt clostraphobic! But like anything we need to adapt. 🙂
👏 it’s like culture shock. 💗
little words ring so true! 💖
