EKPHRASTIC poem is a vivid description of a PICTURE OR PAINTING.

MODERN HAIKU is the English adaptation of Classic Haiku. It's written in one to four lines with no strict syllable count but is as brief as possible. 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. Seasonality is optional. Alliteration and metaphor are okay. Never rhymes. The em-dash ( -- ) is used to emphasize an interruption in speech before the satori. Haiku usually doesn't have a title but in fanstory we have to have one. The Haiku Foundation of America

The 'Blue Chiffon Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) is an excellent deciduous shrub that grows in late summer and early autumn they originated in China and India. They do well in containers.
