My first ketek

[folly]

After reading Words of Radiance I was interested in the symmetric design of the names and poetry. Soon after finishing the book I was in a poetry class so I decided to try my hand at a ketek. I am fascinated by the differences between truths and lies after all everthing is subject to perspective. So here is my first attempt at a ketek.

Lies are truths that see that truths are lies.

What do you guys think? Is it too literal?

Does anyone else have a cool ketek or poem for sharing?

I think this is the 1st ketek I've seen on the shard. And it's cool!

[Delightful]

I like it

 

There's also an entire thread about/of ketek's here.

[folly]

Thanks for linking that thread. It's super cool. If I had known of it before I would have just added mine.

[Delightful]

I kind of figured that. It's cool.

If you want you could ask a mod to merge the threads.

Yeah, there're a couple of Ketek threads, but more is always better!

I've almost completed the 121 Word Ketek challenge... 10 words to fit in... five, really...

That is really impressive! I had enough trouble writing my puny 9 word ketek. I thing the symmetry makes then elegant in a round sort of way. I recently noticed that my first name in almost symmetrical. My first name is Celeste (folly is my middle name), but womens script has no C so my name would be Seleste. It made me super happy. You should finish your 121 word ketek; I would love to read it so would others I believe.

Yeah, I dunno, I guess my brain just works back to front?

 

Honestly, I find the short ones harder. Don't know why, you'd think it would be easier, but nope.

 

I'm trying, but it's on the "awaiting inspiration" backburner for now... I'll look over it soon, see if I can fit anything in and if not just reread it over and over again until it's stuck in the back of my mind...

But yeah. So close, yet so far.

 

Next step is putting it to music!

 

edit: You already have a Ketek-y name! Cool! I had to make up a character to write all of mine for me...
