HAIKU is an unrhymed Japanese poem. It uses a juxtaposition of two images in a way that prompts the reader to make an insightful connection between the two. It alludes to a season of the year. The haiku is written from an observer 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. Avoid punctuation in the middle of the line, but use a dash before the satori (usually last line). Avoid alliteration, metaphor, personification, and capital letters (proper names are okay). click here to read Haiku Society of America, HAIKU EXAMPLES --click here to read Haiku Society of America HAIKU RULES --- click here to read WHY 17 OR LESS SYLLABLES -- click here to read SEASON WORDS (Kigo) List Thank you very much for taking the time to read and review my poem.
