For Rules, Please Read My Author Notes
widow's tears
fall on the garden pond — ripples reach the sky  |
Widow's Tears is a flower and in juxtaposition a woman who lost her husband.
MODERN HAIKU is the English adaptation of Classic Haiku. It's written in one to four lines with no strict syllable count, but as brief as possible. Images don't need to be taken from nature but often do. Seasonality is optional but often does. Alliteration and metaphor are okay. Haiku never rhymes. The em-dash ( -- ) emphasizes an interruption in speech before the satori. The Haiku Foundation of America
