Author Notes
HAIKU is a Japanese short poem that uses imagistic language to convey the essence of an experience of nature intuitively linked to the human condition. The poem is written in three lines with 17 syllables and 5/7/5 form. English haiku doesn't have to be 5/7/5, just 17 syllables OR LESS and as brief as possible. Japanese syllables are shorter than English syllables.
The essence of haiku is represented by the juxtaposition of two images or ideas separated by a dash to pause a moment of introspection.
