Humanity Haiku is a haiku about a season and how humans relate to it.
HAIKU is a short unrhymed poem that uses imagistic language to convey the essence of an experience of nature and season intuitively linked to the human condition. It juxtaposes two images in a way that prompts the reader to make an insightful connection between them. It alludes to a season of the year. In Japan, haiku is written in 17 syllables and three lines ( 5/7/5) but in English is 17 syllables OR LESS. Capitalization and punctuation should only be used when necessary. Use a dash before the satori ( the last line). Avoid alliteration, metaphor, personification, and capital letters (proper names are okay). === click here to read Haiku Society of America, HAIKU EXAMPLES === click here to read Haiku Society of America HAIKU RULES
