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.
Form: Tristich


Playful and Surreal Love

We copulated
          in front of the TV ...
          Every scream of yours,
          a goal of mine ... and the fans
          crazed applauded ...
          We copulated,
          in front of a canary ...
          Every trine of yours,
          every moan of mine,
          mesmerized, and challenged
          further was cracking the canary ...
          We had sex,
          in front of a shooting platoon ...
         in our wince,
         extra shivering ...
         We'll be done soon
         not to be
         hit by the bullets ... and look, neither
         we felt guilty ...
         We had sex,
         in front of a cat ...
         Every moan of yours,
         every howl of my ... the cat
         meow all bristly ...
         We didn't have sex
        in front of Gioconda ...
        But let's do it ...
        for her to lose her pose,
        to cut her protruding
        gestural ...

a memory of love
trickled down his cheek

galanthus nivalis
in  the woodland

revolve,dissolve and endure
