p.s. i'd love to read your haikus as well![]()
Sorry, this time we both have posted at the same time. You may start with the first haiku masters: Basho and Buson.*smiles* thank you! i have a tendency to make too many apologies. i'm workin' on it.
to be honest, i learned about haiku (correct usage?) in elementary school. i never did learn more, but i always had a fondness for a haiku's succinct and enigmatic qualities.
A good question. Some people would write on occasions haiku's if I remember well. However, I don't think it's necessary. Can you find an example?if i'm making "haiku" possessive, then what?

You may be right, but I would still write ...haiku true expression... Indeed, the difference between an adjective and possessive is not too drastic. I feel that it's even less so in the case of haiku.One example of potential possessive....
Although the 5-7-5 syllable count is still the way most people first encounter haiku when in grammar school, haiku's true expression is so much more than that. Even in English.

first of all, i apologize if there's a thread on haikus that i managed to miss.
second, i'm not a poet by any means. i love writing, and i'd consider myself a writer at heart. however, a talented writer is a different story.
third, i would love feedback, criticism, and/or encouragement. i only ask you that you remember that i'm not trying to be a "poet". i'm too shy to share my writing with people i know. somehow strangers on literotica feels less daunting.
so, here's a haiku -
he forgot her there

It's impossible to write Japanese haikus in English because the form is based on Japanese language, a play on rhythms and its characters. You can't even translate them properly.
My daughter is studying Japanese and spent an evening turning my brain to mulch explaining Japanese poetry and why when it is translated it can't be recreated in the way translating a poem between two European languages can be. So so much is lost.
totally agree with bogus, and it's good to senna lighten up.first of all, i apologize if there's a thread on haikus that i managed to miss.

It's understood or should be that haiku allows an interpretation both as haiku, and as what one would interpret as haiku's.I don't think using it as an adjective...
My favorite English (not really a haiku) haiku.
I told her and she
was like "oh my god" and I
was like "oh my god.
And you know who wrote it? Take a wild guess. I'll give you a hint. The initials are B.C.![]()
