A haiku, Japanese poetry,
must have a season kigo!
Can have more but please do read the rules.
If you don't use a kigo.
Yes, if you don't use a kigo.
Then probably it's another form
that you have mistook, misclassified!
Must have one to make it a haiku!
Title edited from haiku to kigo, 4th July 2018.
in the breeze
summer’s soulful song plays
on the wind chimes
come in your welcome
sit outside it's sweltering
ice cold beer imbibe

haiku speak for themselves...
late spring is kigo

no haiku explained
forbidden notes with answers

nature is guided
planet Earth orbits the master
seasons dictated

countries determine
kigo seasonal features

Australia
Christmas time spent on the beach
cream up

splash an osprey hunts
it calls... its chicks gape... hungry...
South Africa waits
~
following the sun
new life birds on the wing...
ocean shores respite
