 A “Haiku” String on Poetry

 

 

five seven and five

the number of syllables

in formal haiku

 

haiku poetry

is unique in its own way

brief yet expressive

 

it is inspiring

making words do one’s bidding

creating verses

 

there are many forms

of what is called poetry

some are challenging

 

rhyming acrostics

are near the top of the list

for difficulty

 

try writing haiku

let your imagination flow

it may grow on you

haiku! There's a Japanese Basho spirit in you, our Regis! Well done!

At Christmas time, you are creating New Year's resolutions.

I have found writing acrostics not difficult, but rarely do them. And while I find that some poems are way too long and full of deadweight that they don't read easily, I find that haiku, while it may be a high art, is too spare, too brief, to reach an emotion or create a story.

I enjoyed this immensely. I haven't written haiku in a very long time. It's a true challenge to limit myself to a subscribed formula because I'm sure you can tell that I'm a bit of a literary chatterbox. Merry Christmas, Regis. I hope it's filled with joy and laughter, and, of course, love.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
