Haiku
|
a crown of cold clouds
obscures a peak far too proud ~
mount indifference
the muse will not land
words just can not understand~
judgement's rough offence
A lush valley calls
Free of harsh, barrier walls~
and haiku defence
winged lines soar, now wise
sweet poet gave us . . . sunrise
bright, choral incense
Haiku can rhyme, have alliteration, personification and even punctuation. A genuine thank you to Poet Destroyer for giving poets who would otherwise feel daunted by haiku the freedom to think outside the box and try something different.
Thanks, PD. This one is for you. :-)

sea’s hidden jewel . . .
sand’s grit becomes a smooth pearl
oyster suckles gem
*Not for some uptight, lord-of-the-Haiku, my-way-or-the-highway, There-is-only-one-right-way contest. Just 'cause!
Some people have haiku issues, CHILL!
I don't usually snarl, but now, really, come on!

More about haiku.
I was interested in learning about MODERN haiku and did some digging around tonight. Here’s basically what I learned. Haiku has and is changing.
Here are some haiku poems published in magazines. I enjoyed each of these and thought I’d share them with you. Note that they do not follow CONVENTIONAL haiku format, some use PERSONIFICATION and each, to me, are just gorgeous. These are recognized as true blue haiku.
DO NOT LET ANYONE TELL YOU THAT HAIKU CAN ONLY BE WRITTEN ONE WAY or to tell you, “You can’t do that. Haiku doesn’t…"
The magazines listed below also have great articles about English haiku. Great reads, all! They push the haiku envelope!
Read the haiku below and tell me what you think? Are these haiku or NOT? The editors of these recognized magazines thought so, and who am I to argue with them?

The word butterflies
Flitting past the paper net
Illusive to me
I open my heart
Showing them my thought flowers
Enticing them in
I catch every one
Feed them from my soul’s nectar
They fly now to you.
Open your heart wide
Give home to my butterflies
My love’s on their wings

The battered rose lay,
sorely strewn upon the earth,
