Haiku Poetry

Recommended Posts

One of my posts on another social site, didn't even know it was a haiku 'til a friend mentioned it.

Just got paid today! :)
Paid my Property Taxes. . . :(
Kinda broke even . . . :D



But it's great and in far more in-line with the concept of a haiku than a simple counting of syllables. Oh sure, haikus need to follow that as a structural element, but the entire point is to actually use them to say something and hopefully in a pithy way.

Yes, and more than that, the Haiku is supposed to involve a contrast. Usually of ideas or ideals (not the same).

Good job, JM!
