A chapter in the book 2024 Gypsy's Haiku
Old Pond

rules in author notes
in the old pond lazy frogs lie on lilypads— chef lurks behind the bushes

inspired by Matsuo Basho haiku
the old pond
a frog leaps in -
splash!
HAIKU is a Japanese short unrhymed poem that uses imagistic language to express the essence of a deeply felt moment in time. It resonates on a deeper level, leaving the reader enlightened and making an insightful connection between the top two lines and the last one, called the SATORI. HAIKU uses a dash to pause before the SATORI.. Haiku is about nature and it alludes to a season of the year. The haiku is written from an observer's point of view. In Japan, haiku is written in 17 syllables and three lines ( 5/7/5) but in English is 17 syllables OR LESS because English syllables are longer than Japanese syllables. Avoid capitalization (except proper names) and punctuation.
