5/7/5 Late Summer Haiku
Rain Sinks In Soil
by Gypsy Blue Rose
rain sinks in soil till creek meanders to sea — cicadas emerge |
Recognized |
This spring in the eastern United States, love is in the air where billions of cicadas emerged after 17 years. The insects are part of a group called Brood X These cicadas have been subterranean, tunneling and feeding beneath the soil. When they are back above ground, finding a mate is a top priority. They are a noisy bunch.
KIGO cicada is the season word for late summer
HAIKU is a Japanese short poem that uses imagistic language to convey the essence of an experience of nature intuitively linked to the human condition. FORM: In Japanese, haiku is written in three lines 5/7/5. In English, it's 17 syllables or less, as brief as possible.
The essence of haiku is represented by the juxtaposition of two images or ideas separated by a dash to pause for introspection, usually at end of the second line.
