RE: A Spontaneous Trio of Haiku (4)

in Scholar and Scribe3 years ago

Haiku is my favorite form of poetry, bear in mind, it's the only form of poetry I enjoy reading. 😁 Whenever something is "easy to make" but "hard to execute" its on my 'likes' list fo sho fo sho.

Not sure if you've heard of Brandon Sanderson, but in his Stormlight Archive books he has invented a form of Haiku called 'Ketek'. Where, it's a Haiku, but it's symmetrical in its prose. Super interesting and complex stuff. Hard to do as well.

My point being, you can always do something to a format if you want. Regardless of its length. Never put yourself in a box.

I was not aware of Brandon Sanderson, nor have I heard the term Ketek before. I am intrigued, you mean the poem is still a three liner, yet every line has the same number of syllables, right? I admit to being fond of complexity and I wonder which form can be perceived as more complex out of the two. Or are they but two facets of the same prism? Jack in the box can be a lot of fun if you get to come out when least predictable. Ha. Still, humor aside, I might look up further into Sanderson, I am, at the risk of repeating myself, quite intrigued. I appreciate that you took time to express more than formal politeness in your comment and brought something unexpected to the table. Thank you for this and for sharing the information on Ketek. Cheers
