Author Notes
A group of crows is called a murder.
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's 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. Capitalization and punctuation should only be used when necessary. No end rhymes. use a dash before the satori (usually the 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 is 5/7/5 OR LESS rule
