HAIKU
A poetry form, with three lines of the first
being 5 syllables, the second 7 and then 5 for the third.
The Haiku usually contains the elements of the spiritual or the
human condition within nature.
I often will deviate from the purity of the definition.
|
.
Among my Haiku poems are my worse, and my best.
The more traditional theme for the haiku will be found in the
Nature,
Creation & Pet
categories.
See also the
LUNE and the
QUIO.
