Whats Your Take on Haiku? https://www.writebetterpoems.com/articles/how-to-write-haiku

in Poetry Discussion

Hello hello Covers.

As I went back to post on Instagram,I so far have done story post with Haiku and Arostics.

I was reading this article and I wonder if anyone has opinions on Haiku.

Personally,this might be my favorite kind of poem to write,as it's short and straight to the point,which is what my earlier works weren't.Perhaps it's because while within rhyme structure,rhyme seem to be something I already got hang of.I enjoy ways to get wrong and ways to get right,as it allow me to grow as a poet.Some things I learn thanks to Rachel Oates as she briefly goes in to Haiku in her Lana Del Ray Poetry review,and Adam Gary Haiku video,made me aware of things I'm doing in Haiku and minus syllables,believe I get Haiku mostly wrong.Least I think.

Haiku i find are a great way to get into poetry has it simple in nature,yet difficult to master.

My first Instagram post of any kind was a Haiku and even though I experimented with Limericks and Arostics,Haiku is my favorite of the three.What I find is given its shorten nature,this allows reader to enjoy poem for what it is.I would like to say I found a way to do insta poetry and funny thing is,doing what I was doing,only adding more tools,since Instagram added new toys to play with.

In any case,Covers,what are your thoughts on Haikus?Any Haiku you written recently?And HAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIKKKKKKKKKKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Apologies for delay response.

I like to at least look into things you mention,and no never knew Tanka exist.Its also a Japanese poem,that apparently doesn't rhyme.Or not supposed too anyway.

Makes me think about Japanese poems and how simple yet complex they really are.Might even do a series of Tanka Instagram Stories at some point this month.

I can see why you like Josie Alford.

She seems very educated on what she talks about and thanks to you,I'm given another poetry influencer to follow.

Can't wait to check out more of her work and do my first series of Tanka Instagram stories this month.

Thank you for your very insightful,yet beautiful response.Always given me something to think about in regards to poetry,so again thank you.
