FIVE FABULOUS HAIKU !

BRIAN & ANGELA

 

 

much more intricate

than man's design ~ dew covered

bejewelled spider web

 

sunken stone glistening

silent trout ~ with his shadow

turns them off and on

 

no shelter from rain

damp pigeon ~ lets the rain drops

escape down her tail

 

waving green sea-grass

a bright fringe on the dark dunes

in coastal sunrise

 

jewel of an insect

iridescent dragon fly

alights on my pond

 

Thanks for sharing ~ comments welcome ~ BRIAN XOX

 

Classical English Haiku must be about NATURE ~ written 

in lower case with no Rhyme and no Punctuation !  SENRYU 

are about HUMAN Foibles & Emotions  Ideally they should have

17 syllables presented in a 5 7 5 pattern ~ The above are 

good examples and ones I use (each with its own picture)

in my Poetry Class for Seniors ~ ENJOY ~ BRIAN XOX

    • BRIAN & ANGELA

      Thanks STEVE for your encouraging comment ! Also for reminding us of the importance of ALLITERATION in poetry ! It add rhythm and aids recitation ! Yours BRIAN

      Good Haikus Brian but your statement about Senryu is incorrect Senryu are about emotion.

      • BRIAN & ANGELA

        THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENT ANDY ~ YES In my experience SENRYU do tend to be about people and human foibles ! They are emotional and often cynical and humorous whereas HAIKU are more gentle and serious ~ Yours BRIAN Thanks for your comment on Artists (FUSION) I have added a picture of Holman Hunt's ~ Light of the World ~ OK !
