Monostich Poem writing prompt entry
|
Writing Prompt A monostich is a poem that is only one line. The title often plays an important part in the poem since the poem itself is so short. Often used for humourous poems. EXAMPLE: My Dogma While I was in church last night, my dogma ate my homework. - written by Kentucky Sweet Pea |
The phrase *Qu*ils mangent de la brioche* is attributed, perhaps falsely, to Queen Marie-Antoinette who met her death beneath the Guillotine in 1793. The French Revolution was inspired by the American Revolution a few years earlier, and encouraged by Benjamin Franklin.
