'too much too little too late - we knew it had to end'
Poetry form: Lyricku *- A type of poem that is made up of a single horizontal line consisting of seventeen syllables or less. Traditionally considered haiku writing, Monoku appeared as an independent style of poetry in the 1970s. The first letter should not be capitalized.* While this is truly a Monoku, this is the first instance of me using a lyric line from a well-known song for my Monoku. So, I am designating this particular Monoku as a Lyricku - a type of Monoku that is made up of a single horizontal line consisting of seventeen syllables or less, in addition to being a lyric line from a well-known song. (I have a poetic license that allows me to get away with stuff like this from time to time. Just sayin'...)
