Haiku
Below is the most popular definition, but there is more to haiku than meets the eye:
Haiku (also called nature or seasonal haiku) is an unrhymed Japanese verse consisting of three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables (5, 7, 5) or 17 syllables in all. Haiku is usually written in the present tense and focuses on nature (seasons).
The 5/7/5 rule was made up for school children to understand and learn this type of poetry. For an in-depth description of Haiku, please visit the Shadow Poetry Haiku, Senryu, and Tanka section. There is much more to haiku than the made up 5/7/5 version.
Flowers grow in spring
with the rain watering them
please bloom now flowers.
Yeah, that was a stretch, but at least I managed to get a poem in after improv. Let me try another one, that is more me.
These words must be said
they must come to life one way
the words that shine love.
Again, it’s after improv. My creative juices must be low. Let me know what you think.
