deathpoet's blog: "poem"

Haiku

[for those of you who don't know, Haiku is a Japanese poem form consisting of 3 lines.  The first line is 5 syllables, the second is 7, the third line is 5 as well.  While this "form" is not difficult the essense of Haiku is subtlty.  There should be very little adjectives or other "devices" typical in western poem forms, illiteration for example is a no no.   Yet the poem should convey emotion & power or beauty.  I have been studying this form for many decades.]

As a hummingbird
alites upon a willow
twig. So rests my soul

(now my contest.  This Haiku is posted elsewhere on FUBAR.  Find it and send me the link and I'll give you 1/2 of whatever fubucks I have...)
