Premium Memberto HIKU or HAIKU that is the question

HAIKU  is a centuries old Japanese traditional phonetical & cultural poetic form whereas HIKU is a relatively recently established English language version thereof 'birthed' from last half of the 20th century.
Hiku is 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 haiku.
Without  any syllabic( 5-7-5 ) line restrictions, the hiku is the 'free verse' version of the haiku,similar but different ,a present tense poetic in another language - hiku is the written or recited equivalent to arts 'gestural spontaneous happening'
.

employing it only when needed
shifting to heart, I became self-taught
gentling touch, voice of conscience heeded

Premium Membersenryus

We were at a small
bar, the place only served some
older regulars.

An elderly guy
in an old jean jacket was
talkative, friendly.

“What do girls learn at
Yale?” He asked. “We’re taught things, like
expressions, smiling,

pomposity, snark,
whatevering and stuff-stuff.”
I bragged shamelessly.

“Sure,” He chuckled, “sure
- but it’s worth the money I suppose,”
he gave me a toast.

Limiting yourself
can, in fact, set you free - try
writing a Senryu

Like a martial art,
a tea ceremony or
classical music

They are a tight dance -
controlled, disciplined, focused.
Other styles can drift.

A Senryu is like
a Haiku except it deals
with human feelings
.
.

A Haiku/Senryu should three lines of 5-7-5 syllables
A Haiku should be about nature
A Senryu about human feelings

When Jesus was Born Horn Haiku

lesson in horn haiku

my horn haiku are 
5-7-5 in vowels when
each line likes to rhyme

within horn haiku
is neither punctuation 
nor capital letters 

haiku normally 
has three lines in each section
never will rhyme though

when will how with who 
where what or why have to do
Jesus told me true

when Jesus was born
he saved us from sin and scorn
beauty would adorn

corn
forlorn
horn
morn
**** (Good heavens)
torn
worn


sane we would remain
when Christ would have a campaign
remove sin and strain

cane

dane
forbane
gain
grain
inane
Jane
lane
pain
rain
stain

You can always surely do search 
for all the words which will rhyme
all of the time that have been
sublime.

let’s go Legos blocks
building yellow, green, red beck
 love birds parakeets

built lovingly by 
children of little tiny 
hands snapping gathered

blocks of colored formed
plastic little molded bricks
fashioning contrived 
~
erected birds made skill
fashioned from stacking snap blocks
multicolored bricks

Premium Member3hree Legged Table

three legged table
do not partake of liquor
nor strong pungent drinks

like in a western
 bar fight busting tables chairs
 fly soars broken to 

onto floor broken
cowboys yippee-kila-yay  
under bust fighting

like in a western
 broken up three leg table 
one legged BROKEN

hot phenomenon 

           ancient lava rings
     hexagonal shapes appear 
         molten rock anneals

         where titans battled 
     geometric footprints pave
         the giants causeway
