Exceptional A Ha-Wai-E-Ku Poem Little Poems : Wild Waves by Treischel

Wild Waves Hawaii has surfing waves to ride upon those liquid peaks. Write a Haiku. Our big lake has got them too both with wild wet waves Then lets just Ha-Wai-E-Ku Turned that 5-7-5 Poem Inside to outside. What wonderful things to do! Author Notes Tired of all those 5-7-5, Haiku, and Senryu. Lets turn them inside out and create a wave with a peak and valley. That's just what Hawaiian Mermaid did. She created this rebellion, "because I can". She calls it a Ha-Wai-E-Ku. So here's my tribute to Ginger, Hawaiian Mermaid. This poem's syllable count, of 7-5-7, looks like a wave to me. Three waves coming at ya! I added a touch of rhyme and alliteration, some capital letters, punctuation and even an "ing" word. Here's to breaking those rules. Write on Rebel poets! The picture is of surfers on Lake Superior in March, from the Author's collection.
