Exceptional 4/6/5 Modern Haiku One Thousand Cranes : Full Moon Shines On by Gypsy Blue Rose For Rules, Please Read My Author Notes

full moon shines on     radiant blue feathers - melancholic swan     Recognized Author Notes This haiku is modern because I used personification. In classic haiku, you only write concrete images you observe, not abstract words like a melancholic feeling. The poet reflected her own feelings to the swan. The color blue that we see on a bird is created by the way light waves interact with the feathers Modern Haiku - The most common adaptation in English haiku looks something like this: one to four lines, no strict syllable count but brief, and often with a long/short or short/long asymmetry. It's written in a way that prompts the reader to make an insightful connection between the top lines and the last one. These poems use a dash to pause before the last punch line ( satori ). Modern haiku may use any poetic devices Images need not be taken from nature, though they may be and often are. Seasonality is optional, though often featured.
