Cool picture, love the Haiku that adjoined it . I’am still trying to get how to write one.

Although there are apparently several forms of Haiku, and the English language and its syllables do not easily convert to the Japanese version … the usual theme is around nature … other wise it is more correctly referred to as a Senyru … although most still refer to it as Haiku.
That being said … for most of the challenges I participate … it is 3 lines, with the syllable count of 5 syllables for the 1st line, 7 syllables for the 2nd and 5 syllables for the 3rd (5-7-5) OR 3-5-3.
Not rhyming; try to limit the use of “the”, “a”, “and”, or other filler words … paint a picture with conciseness and focus … although the first two lines are related to each other — each line should stand on its own … the first 2 lines are usually related, and the 3rd line is like a surprise! You can continue with a second “stanza: (although that is not the right word for it) and string together 2 or 3 Haiku to complete your voice. A haiku uses a few words to capture a moment; creating a picture in the reader’s mind; like a tiny window into a scene much larger than itself.
When I first read Haiku it made absolutely no sense to me … but then I started attempting to write the more modern versions, it got easier. It helps me with focus and clarity. Every now and then, I surprise myself with a truer version of Haiku. Try it … but beware, the Haiku bug may bite!!! 😀
