EKPHRASTIC is a poem inspired by a picture or painting
HAIKU is an unrhymed Japanese short poem that uses imagistic language to convey the essence of an experience of nature. Haiku refers to a season of the year by the words: spring, summer, autumn, winter; or by a word that represents the season (cold, hot, harvest moon, snow, etc ... ) In Japanese, haiku is written in three lines 5/7/5. In English, it's 17 syllables OR LESS and as brief as possible. The essence of haiku is represented by the juxtaposition of two images or ideas separated by a dash (usually at end of the second line) to pause before the last line called satori (an aha moment) for introspection. Avoid alliteration, metaphor, personification, punctuation, and capital letters (proper names is okay). source of 5/7/5 syllables rule *** source haiku rules by William J.
