The Old Man

by Gypsy Blue Rose

       

       old man sits on a stump —

in his mind

the tree house

 

 




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, enlightening the reader and making an insightful connection. English Haiku doesn't follow the 5/7/5 form, because Japanese syllables are much shorter. The rule of thumb is to write it as succinctly as possible and 17 syllables or less. click here to read haiku examples
