Exceptional Modern Haiku Suite for the Haiku Club One Thousand Cranes : ~ Waterfall ~ by Gypsy Blue Rose If You Would Like To Join the Haiku Club, please check my author notes

rapid river rushes through highs and lows chipping away sharp edges   smooth or cutting stones tumbling turbulent waters shattered to pieces   till the end where promises of release are  – waterfall     Author Notes MODERN HAIKU is the English adaptation of Classic Haiku. It's written in one to four lines with no strict syllable count but is 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.
