LUNE is a short poem with three lines, similar to haiku in that it uses imagery and succinct composition. Lune poetry originated when American poets noticed that writing a haiku in The Lotus Flower grows deep in the muddy waters, far away from the sun. In time the Lotus reaches the light and transforms into a beautiful flower. It is regarded in many different cultures as a symbol of purity, enlightenment, self-regeneration and rebirth. English isn�¢??t the same as writing one in Japanese. Japanese words tend to have more syllables than English words and thus it forced English-language haiku to be too wordy and forced to fit the 5/7/5 syllables mold. American poet, Robert Kelly, created the lune in the 1960s. THE KELLY LUNE consists of 3/5/3 SYLLABLES. It was named after its shape, which resembles a crescent moon. Later, poet JACK COLLOM came up with the word-count-variant 3/5/3 WORDS.
