Mating calls or cries are defined as the long sequences of trills and meows used by female cats in heat.
MODERN HAIKU is the English adaptation of Classic Haiku. It's written in one to four lines with no strict syllable count, but brief and often with a long/short or short/long asymmetry. These poems use a pause usually marked by a dash before the satori (an insightful twist to ponder). Images don't need to be taken from nature, though they often are. Seasonality is optional, though often featured. Alliteration and metaphor are okay. Never rhymes. PAUSES IN HAIKU: The comma ( , ) separates dependant clauses; ellipsis ( ...) in dialogue shows a pause in a character's speech; In contrast, the em-dash ( -- ) is used to emphasize an interruption in speech before the satori. In haiku we keep punctuation to a minimum. The Haiku Foundation of America
