I do not claim to be a poet, so we will see how semi random words, chosen from a set list, and rearranged by a novice wordsmith, turn into poetry.
There are 61 dice with five words per die and one blank side, which means there are 305 words the dice can roll. These dice are meant to write Haiku so there should be 17 syllables in each poem. While I don't know why the creator's of Haikubes® included a blank side, I will allow myself three self-chosen syllables a poem, or one in six syllables will be anything I choose, the rest however shall be chosen by lady luck herself.
In addition to the 61 word dice there are two "poem-direction" dice. These will be replicated here:
Die 1
A Reflection On
A Tirade About
A Dream About
A Regret About
A Vision For
A Desire For
Die 2
My Work Life
My Romantic Life
My Future
My Childhood
Our World
My Family
For the moment I'll be rolling these dice six times a week and working within their content structure, and on the seventh day I'll choose my own direction. Their are only 36 different outcomes so I may be abandoning the dice after I've grown tired of creating Haiku about "A Tirade about my work life" every week.
