Author Notes
17 syllables in four lines
The most common literary adaptation in English of 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. These poems too utilize a caesura. Images need not be taken from nature, though they may be and often are. Seasonality is optional, though often featured. Here is an example:
in the woodpile
the broken ax handle
Thank you very much for reading and reviewing my poem.
