“Haiku is an ancient
form of Japanese poetry often containing (in English) a total of 17 syllables
shared between three lines, arranged in a pattern of 5-7-5. It is important to
note that the original Japanese haiku was measured in sounds, or ‘breaths,’ not
English syllables. The 5-7-5 approach was a rough approximation.” –haiku-poetry.org
The A to Z Challenge has begun!
Day One Haiku:

on the heels of winter boots
and dance to bluebells

I like Haiku a lot, and this is a very nice one. What a great choice for the A-Z challenge.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Elizabeth :-) Glad to know you like haiku, too!
ReplyDeleteThis is nice. A relaxing form of poetry. Not too intense or long.

Sharon--I like your choice of words: 'relaxing form of poetry.' I find that taking the initial idea and developing it does bring a sense of calmness. Maybe that's why I've become hooked on the form! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks to you, too, Ann. Appreciate your comment :-)
