Beautiful ! A lovely image of Spring. Congrats. Do you, perhaps, JBC, have a precise definition of Illusku that I could use ? I’m thinking of sponsoring a contest on Allpoetry asking for Illusku, and will of course credit you. I don’t think there is one on Types here & it’s not on Google yet. Sending blessings.

Hi GD.. Illusku A yet experimental poetic form derived from the illustrated haiku, in which a short poem typically 17 syllables or fewer is visually shaped or enhanced through the creative arrangement of words, letters, spacing, or simple characters to form an illustration that reflects or deepens the poem’s meaning. It does not require the traditional 5–7–5 structure and may follow either traditional or free-form expression, as long as the text remains readable and the visual element is integral to the poem. In simple terms, an Illusku is a short, visual poem where the words create the picture, and the picture strengthens the message. I hope this helps^___^
