Kaiku 13. The Shape of Haiku
2010-01-11 10:50:03
This time concentrate on the shape of the haiku. Because we don't often write in 5/7/5 any more, sometimes we still wish to adhere to the shape of a haiku:
line 1: short
line 2: long
line 3: short
Keep in mind:
1) juxtaposition
2) vivid images
3) Phrase and fragment theory.
4) shape: the second line is the longest one.
snow dunes
on the roof of my house
sagging spruce
icycle drips
chase one after another
children in spring
ice dams
thick on the eaves
sagging spruce
