Exceptional Haiku 2024 Gypsy's Haiku : * Plum Blossoms * by Gypsy Blue Rose

a t   t h e   g r a v e s i d e,   m o m' s   a n n i v e r s a ry —   plum blossoms touch my shoulders          Author Notes HAIKU is a Japanese short unrhymed poem that uses imagistic language to express the essence of a deeply felt moment in time. It resonates on a deeper level, leaving the reader enlightened and making an insightful connection between the top two lines and the last one, called the SATORI. HAIKU uses a dash to pause before the SATORI.. Haiku is about nature and 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 because English syllables are longer than Japanese syllables. Avoid capitalization (except proper names) and punctuation. 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 Thank you very much for reading and reviewing my poems.
