You have soiled your lace There among the common weeds Yet stand proud, Queen Anne [This message has been edited by Dennis L. White (edited 08-01-2001).] |

This was awesome! I really liked this one! VERY well written. I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |

Well Dennis, get out there and pull those weeds. No rose likes to compete with them yanno NIce one. There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |

Paladin, Thank you for your reply. I appreciate the information you have shared with me. I should also let you know that there is more than one form of westernized haiku. One of the more popular forms uses 5-7-5 syllables as I have used. You are correct that haikus are centered on nature and include a seasonal word, usually the third line is the brake line where a contrast or observation rounds out the vignette. I used to think that the poets who used 3-5-3 format did so in error, but after writing in the 5-7-5 format I have great respect for the 3-5-3 form, knowing that the economy of words to convey a given haiku snapshot is even more difficult than the form I prefer. Finally, I feel there is room for these two forms to co-exist. If you wish to continue a dialoge on this subject you may contact me at: dlynnn@hotmail.com Thanks again for your thoughtful comments. Dennis :^) |
