+ Creator of the footle & hiku (definition -as below) 

*FOOTLE *footle(singular) is a two line lines,2 syllable verse with an integral title-Light Poetic verse form,witty,pertinent,topical etc (technically a trochaic monometer and not necessarily in rhyme)it was inspired by the famous FLEAS Adam/had'em.

 

HIKU a tristich HAIKU is a centuries old Japanese traditional phonetical & cultural poetic form

whereas HIKU is a relatively recent 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 'invented' syllabic( 5-7-5 ) line restrictions of the 'haiku in english 'is the 'free verse' version of the '5:7:5 haiku in English'. similar but different ,a present tense poetic ,the - hiku is the written or recited equivalent to arts 'gestural spontaneous happening' . Creativity the key in a verse freed from strict syllabic constraint within its triplicity of format(tristich)& yet inherently enigmatic & often with a caesura and surprise ending( VERSUM )to give a 'turning' to the line. The flexible 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.

 

OPEN VERSE using spaces&breaks/no grammatical symbols /relying on 'the one breath limitation'/thus intuitive cadence permits the 'reader' (reciter)to respond in an interpretative-interplay unique** to the ' happening moment'
