Haiku, pronounced "HIGH-coo"
An unrhymed poetic form consisting of 17 syllables arranged in three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively. The haiku first emerged in Japanese literature during the 17th century, as a terse reaction to elaborate poetic traditions, though it did not become known by the name haiku until the 19th century.
Today, writers capture every facet of the human experience and create poems that capture feelings and memories all can appreciate.
HAIKU - 1
I know you can tell
when I am thinking of you.
I feel you listen.
HAIKU - 2
When I speak to you,
do you hear a lover's voice
hold you in my arms?
HAIKU - 3
Hold me with your heart,
for your arms will be empty.
Remember the love.
HAIKU - 4
Reading my poems,
using eyes of a lover,
you might understand.
