Frightened Children

by Gypsy Blue Rose


Rules in author notes

frightened children

    in kindergarten class—

hear roaring from outside

 

raging waves

destroy everything in its path—

small backpacks float by

 





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.
