Exceptional 5/7/3 Modern Winter Haiku One Thousand Cranes : Meditative Monk by Gypsy Blue Rose For Rules, Please Read My Author Notes

meditative monk     sits by a lake full of moon — reflecting     Recognized Author Notes --Reflecting = casting back an image; careful consideration or meditation. 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. These poems use a pause usually marked by a dash before the satori (an insightful twist to ponder). Images don't need to be taken from nature. Seasonality is optional. Alliteration and metaphor are okay. Never rhymes. The em-dash ( -- ) is used to emphasize an interruption in speech before the satori. Haiku usually doesn't have a title but in fanstory we have to have one. The Haiku Foundation of America Thank you very much for taking the time to read and review my poem.
