~ Waterfall ~
by Gypsy Blue Rose
If You Would Like To Join the Haiku Club, please check my author notes
rapid river rushes through highs and lows chipping away sharp edges
smooth or cutting stones tumbling turbulent waters shattered to pieces
till the end where promises of release are – waterfall

MODERN HAIKU is the English adaptation of Classic Haiku. It's written in one to four lines with no strict syllable count but is as brief as possible. These poems use a pause usually marked by a dash before the satori (an insightful twist to ponder). Images don't need to be taken from nature. Seasonality is optional. Alliteration and metaphor are okay. Never rhymes. The em-dash ( -- ) is used to emphasize an interruption in speech before the satori. Haiku usually doesn't have a title but in fanstory, we have to have one. The Haiku Foundation of America
