Morning Marty... you seem in my read to have the syllable counts correct and follow the tradtion of Haiku being about or refering to nature in some way. You might find it interesting to read a bit on the history of haiku, I know I did. |

Actually, I come up with 5-6-5 as opposed to the more traditional 5-7-5. Otherwise, the mold fits. Cheers,  JThere is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |

Guess I miss counted too. In Reichold's book that's one of first things she points out. I saw the green blue green as a way of showing a yearly cycle. Blue being the clear sky of winter Haiku has so many ways to mess it up. Still like it because of how much can be read into it. Thanks again for catching my mistake. |

marty, something I dug up that while not totally correct from what I remember reading in other sources, in essence some of the things usually associated with the Haiku Haiku is a small poetry with oriental metric that appeared in the XVI century and is being very popular mainly in Japan. It's been disseminating in all around the world during this century. It have an old and long story that reminds the spiritualist philosophy and the Taoist simbolism of the oriental mistics and Zen-Buddhist masters who express much of their thoughts in form of miths, simbols, paradoxes and poetic images like the Haiku. It's done to transcend the limitation imposed by the usual language and the linear/scientific thinking that treat the nature and the human being as a machine. It's a contemplative poetry that valorizes nature, color, season, contrasts and surprises. Usually it has 3 lines and 17 syllabes distributed in 5, 7 and 5. It must register or indicate a moment, sensation, impression or drama of a specific fact of nature. It's almost like a photo of some specific moment of nature. More than inspiration, it's need meditation, effort and perception to compose a real Haiku. |

And if you don't wish to follow the rules sometimes, just call it Freeverse Haiku [This message has been edited by Essorant (10-17-2003 06:03 PM).] |

Careful though folks-- they tend to be addictive-- after a period of months of haiku addiction, I had to 12 step away from them---heh There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |

LOL I'll try & mix them up with other styles then. Doubt I could go to many PA meetings living away from the city like we do. |
