B
I just want to share here are some of my haiku (俳句
.
YESU.
I want
to call you
Lover.
MORNING BREAKS
I scrape memories
painful and long forgotten,
with tomorrow's hope.
TWILIGHT
Sunset stretches dark
shadows in pursuit of me
as the tide pulls back.
(In 5-7-5 forms and others in the 2-3-2 form)
NEXT PORTION only for those interested (because its quite long) Here's a little Haiku 101:
Haiku (俳句 is a mode of Japanese poetry. The traditional hokku consisted of a pattern of approximately 5, 7, and 5 morae, phonetic units which only partially correspond to the syllables of languages such as English.
Hokku usually combine two (or rarely, three) different phrases, with a distinct grammatical break (kireji) usually at the end of either the first five or second seven morae. These elements of the older hokku are considered by many to be essential to haiku as well, although they are not always included by modern writers of Japanese "free-form haiku" and of non-Japanese haiku.
While traditional hokku focused on nature and the place of humans in nature, modern haiku poets often consider any subject matter suitable, whether related to nature, an urban setting, or even a technological context. While old hokku avoided some topics such as romance, attraction, violence.. contemporary haiku often deals specifically with such themes.
Contemporary haiku is often regarded as an "instant" form of brief verse that can be written by anyone from schoolchildren to professionals. Though conservative writers of modern haiku stay faithful to the standards of old hokku, many present-day writers have dropped such standards, emphasizing personal freedom and pursuing ongoing exploration in both form and subject matter.
At first glance a haiku seems very simple - well it actually is, in many ways. BUT there are also techniques which you may use to be able to write a haiku (paradox, opposites, similarity, metaphor, etc). And there is really no hard rule or measuring stick to judge that one haiku is good the other worthless. In a sense, I feel the more honest and real your haiku is to YOU, then it is a success. in any literature - a writer loses his reader when he writes unfaithfully..the same is true here.
What I love about a haiku is as long as your haiku remains true to you - about something you've seen, felt, longed for, then you can confuse the reader all you want with riddles and drama. Most may even form their own meaning when reading them.
I hope you try it and share them with me too
