I love this Lori...you've done it again with your sense of humour, and your very bright way of whimsical writing. Thnx for sharing sis. May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, stubborn to a fault, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your still sad and terrified little sister, Barbie

Definitely an instance where less is more... and you meet all demands and rigours of the form wonderfully, masterfully and inimitably, Lori! For iggorant folk like me, Haiku might seem a quick dash when not much else is happening: TOTAL ignorance, in fact, of what is a very specific and highly-controlled artform. One, like the small-print and nitty-gritty in a legal statute, you have disposed at your fingertips - even making it shake with laughter! Well done as ever, TY Kate xx

Lori, I�m glad you have a thorough understanding of all this, �cause I surly never will � lol. I have never counted syllables, except when I tried writing some Haiku�s and then all I ever got was a headache � lol. I enjoy your creativity, Poet. Thanks for sharing it. Take good care and be well.

Alex,

You are on the right track. A three line verse with strict 5-7-5 syllabic structure dealing with vague, esoteric images has nothing to do with Japanese poetry. The idea that it is somehow traditional, speaks only of an English language tradition which is based on a misunderstanding of the Japanese language. I appreciate your comment.

LOL, Lori. There are those who really want to have all haiku 5-7-5 and they will always give us grief if we write them any other way. Well thought out write!
Take care,
Sherry
