Characteristics of Lowku
> A focus on all things roguish (open to interpretation)
> A "moody word" such as "Humph!" that tells the reader how the writer is feeling.
> A division or disagreement somewhere in the poem, which focuses first on one thing, then another.
> Describe the details of a scene that causes a feeling or emotion, but under no circumstances admit to how "it" makes you actually feel.
> Ignore any and all rules and do whatever you want!
Sample Lowku:
me mug be Empty,
me belt pouch be full of rocks,
Duckbill be Pesky!
