Contemporary Haiku for the Haiku club
A chapter in the book 2024 Gypsy's Haiku
Mountain Top
by Gypsy Blue Rose
If You Would Like To Join the Haiku Club, please check my author notes
on the mountain top,
my fears cower
at God's feet — I let them go |
I was worried about something today and I an trying to let God take care it. There's peace in letting go.
Contemporary 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.The most common literary adaptation in English of haiku looks something like this: one to four lines, no strict syllable count but brief. These poems too utilize a caesura (dash before satori). Images need not be taken from nature, though they may be and often are. Seasonality is optional, though often featured. Here's an example:
in the woodpile
the broken ax handle
