POETIC


TRISTIC-HALLY




HAIKU is a centuries old Japanese traditional phonetical & cultural poetic form 
whereas
 HIKU is a relatively recently reference to the 75year old established  haiku in English. Hiku being  an imagist tristich like its elder cousin,without a title,and with a similar economy of words ,inherently enigmatic & with a caesura or an ellipsis and surprise ending. A similar sense of pause the aesthetic insight flowing from perception gained from 'one breath length ' composition that flowed from the Japanesese 17 onji sound inherent in the Japaneses haiku. Without any syllabic( 5-7-5 ) line restrictions, the hiku is the 'free verse' version of the   haiku in English. similar but different ,a present tense poetic in another language - hiku is the written or recited equivalent to arts 'gestural spontaneous happening' .
  
A verse freed from strict syllabic constraint within its triplicity of format& is inherently enigmatic & often with a caesura and surprise ending( VERSUM )to give a 'turning' to the line.

The hiku maybe a horizontal  single* line,(often  broken line at the caesura),a vertical line(usually a painting(haiga) ,a couplet** or a tristich* with shape-like variations.
