5/7/5 Spring Haiku
Breezy Lazy Dusk
by Gypsy Blue Rose
breezy lazy dusk — I prep veggies on my porch while plum blossoms sway |
The satori is in the first line. It's fine to write satori on the first or the third line.

KIGO: plum blossom is early spring
HAIKU
Definition: A haiku is a short poem that uses imagistic language to convey the essence of an experience of nature or the season intuitively linked to the human condition.
Notes: Most haiku in English consist of three unrhymed lines of seventeen or fewer syllables, with the middle line longest, though today's poets use a variety of line lengths and arrangements. In Japanese, a typical haiku has seventeen "sounds" (on) arranged five, seven, and five. Traditional Japanese haiku include a "season word" (kigo), a word or phrase that helps identify the season of the experience recorded in the poem, and a "cutting word" (kireji), a sort of spoken punctuation that marks a pause or gives emphasis to one part of the poem. In English, season words are sometimes omitted, but the original focus on experience captured in clear images continues. The most common technique is juxtaposing two images or ideas. Punctuation, space, a line-break, or a grammatical break may substitute for a cutting word. Most haiku have no titles, and metaphors and similes are commonly avoided. source: haiku society of america
