Author Notes
When baby birds fall out of their nest will usually spend two to five days on the ground once they are out of the nest, flapping their wings and hopping about.
Languid = lacking in vigor or vitality
HAIKU is a short unrhymed poem that records the essence of a deeply felt moment in time. The traditional haiku links human nature to all nature and to existence. It seeks to transcend the intellect. It alludes to a season of the year. In Japan, haiku is written in 17 syllables and three lines ( 5/7/5) but in English is 17 syllables OR LESS because Japanese and English syllables are different. Avoid capitalization and punctuation except for a dash before the satori (sudden enlightenment) usually in the last line but it can be in the first line too.. Avoid poetic devices. Keep verbs in the present tense. â?? 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 === Modern Haiku
