Author Notes
Contemporary Haiku is a Japanese short unrhymed poem that uses imagistic language to express the essence of a deeply felt moment in time. It resonates on a deeper level, leaving the reader enlightened and making an insightful connection.The most common literary adaptation in English of haiku looks something like this: one to four lines, no strict syllable count but brief. These poems too utilize a caesura (dash before satori). Images need not be taken from nature, though they may be and often are. Seasonality is optional, though often featured. HereĆ¢??s an example: in the woodpile the broken ax handle source
Thank you for reading and reviewing my poem
