RE: Haiku #4: Old Tree

in #haiku7 years ago

I know about haiku,

American poets such as Jack Kerouac have acknowledged that the American pronunciation is completely different from Japanese pronunciation. They wrote haiku by denying 17 parties and three sentences.

Kobayashi Ishara Haiku: Firefighter flies / drops so fast / silent
Matsu Basu's haiku: butterfly ointment / aroma of your wing / orchid
Haosu of Josia Busan: A clash of ax / pineapple smell / winter banana.

Sort:  

Nowadays, haiku can be written without following the 17 syllables and 3 sentences of the traditional haiku, it's called freestyle haiku. Personally though, I prefer the traditional haiku. Thanks for visiting.
