ReplyDeleteWhat happened to the 5-7-5 thing? I wish I understood...
ReplyDeletejinksy - because syllables in English are so different from syllables in japanese, most serious English language writers of haiku have dispensed with 5-7-5 as a rule and use it as an upper limit (though longer lines are acceptable if for example you're writing a haiku about a rhododendron). Also haiku can be written in one line or two. If you want to find out more, you can follow some of the links in the sidebar under haiku.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of smashing glass and blackbird alarm call Juliet.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one who gets the feeling that I am standing on my head when I first glimpse your header?
