Haiku are an unrhymed verse form made popular centuries ago. Although originally religious chants they evolved into a short poem format which entertained people, mostly men, by the challenge of using few sounds/syllables. It eventually died out only to be revived by many different cultures. To write a haiku in English, there are many techniques...too many! Kind of mind boggling actually. The main premise seems to be using few syllables usually in a 5-7-5 format.
This is my first attempt in years...decades! It is not good in fact I am still rewriting it in my head. Ha! But it is on paper and illustrated for you.
