Most haiku in English consist of
three unrhymed lines of seventeen or fewer syllables, with the middle line
longest, though today's poets use a variety of line lengths and
arrangements.

What makes the haiku different from other poetic forms is what is called the
"haiku moment." A haiku is likened to a photograph, which captures a moment
in time. A pure photograph describes a scene, and this description causes
an emotional response in its viewer. There is no caption on the photograph
that tells us what emotional response we are to take from it. It is
instead a simple moment in time, unencumbered. The most famous Haiku
Japanese poet is Basho.
Immortality
life, endless cycle
of sunrises and
sunsets
reincarnations!
Resting In Peace
your vast verdant breast
my peaceful sanctuary
like La Pieta's arms!
Vine Wine
wine water
first miracle from the vine
my cup runneth o'er!
Synthesis
between
white darkness & true falsity
lies the mystery!
Virgin Birth
numbness piercing
my snowhite sanctum
a babeGod is born!
Sanctuary
searching for myself
can i be a part of you
pacific ocean?
Genesis
barren planet Earth
impregnated from afar
Homo Sapiens birth!
