Haiku Sparkle 3

Words trickle Discern meaning; Open heart surgery Work for wealth Pricey tag for health; Silly permutation Whispers Murmurs; Fading voices hint Going out today Do not delay; Trip to find me Questions disturb Overturn decisions; Offer revisions Lost in the mists Time and space collapse; Sudden illumination Smiles and winks Hints and tints; CSR ice cream Yes this is it dear death: My last testament; Officially legal and willing Loose change For penny options; Get rich quickie!

Hi, Leon. You know what? I think these might be that one kind of poem that has three lines but are not called haiku. Someone just blogged about it here at Soup. Anyway, they were fun to read. Thanks for that suggestion about May. I think I might try to incorporate your suggestion in my next contest I sponsor!!

Dear Andrea: Traditional Japanese haiku is strictly about an experiential observation or fragment about nature with a season word. Haiku in English is today very much about direct experience and personal observation. The line is now more flexible. Senryu like Haiku is the right term when we talk about the personal space, and that's my take. To me, the term is not really critical. It's the pulse of the momentary fragment. Hope this helps. Leon
