Haiku

Haiku is a highly structured form of oriental poetry.
Each poem has three lines. The first line contains
five syllables, second line contains seven syllables
and the third line contains five syllables.
Traditionally haikus are nature based subject wise.

is this the form we will use for this haiku...? which to me is actually easier then a seasonal form that I use... either or.. or another just let me know
Du loves Haiku

Haiku...

The way I will be looking at the haiku will be based upon the following definition.


"A haiku is a short poem recording the essence of a moment keenly perceived in which Nature is linked to human nature."
Cor van den Heuvel, The Haiku Anthology W.W. Norton & Company, New York, London

I elaborate on this further on several of my articles I have posted on lit: What is Haiku? and Not Seventeen: More on Haiku

I think van den Heuvel has one of the the best grasps on English language haiku these days.

This should be interesting, I put the boys down about 8 pm so any time after that will be good for me. I have the Wiggles to help me but the songs they sing stick with you for a long time. Mash Potato Mash Potato, well there is half a haiku.

Hello Trent_Dutch

Seranade hasn't gotten a hold of me but had PM me last week saying he wanted to do this if we did it, so you most deffinetly may participate, I did so enjoy the last volley and look forward to numero ocho (gunfight) but if this is half as much fun as last time then I will be satisfied till the guns blaze again <grin>
