rapid river rushes

through highs and lows

chipping away sharp edges

 

smooth or cutting stones

tumbling turbulent waters

shattered to pieces

 

till the end

where promises of release are  –

waterfall

 

 




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
Thank you very much for taking the time to read and review my poem.
