What is Haiku?
A Haiku is a Japanese verse form notable for its compression and suggestiveness. It consists of three unrhymed lines of five, seven and five syllables that register or indicate a moment, sensation or impression of a specific point in nature. The first two lines are closely related and the last line relates but in a visceral way or creates a punch line twist.
Be sure to visit and sign up for her newsletter. In the current issue she challenged her readers to create a Haiku with the topic…changing seasons.
Here is my first attempt at this Japanese poetry.
Summer is fleeting
not enough sun to be had
Clouds approach with snow
