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.
