HAIKU POEM
A
poetry form, forming three lines of the first being 5 syllables, the second 7
and then 5 for the third.
The Haiku usually contains the elements of the spiritual or the
human condition within nature.
I often will deviate from the purity of the definition.
|
.
Among
these Haiku poems are some of the worse, and I think some of the best.
Those of a more traditional theme for the haiku will be found in the
Nature category. |
