Haiku -Enchanted Sprite



I am the rose's
soft blush, shining through dew drops-
your enchanted sprite!




18 April, 2010

Haiku is Japanese lyric poetry, in which seasons, emotions, nature, find expressions in concise, numerically limited lines and syllables. The one above is in the 5-7-5 pattern. There are also 3-5-3 patterns. That is, threel ines, populated by words, totally making up 5 , 7 and 5 syllables in all. The breakdown, given below is thus:

I/ am/ the/ ros/e's (5)

soft/ blush/, shi/ning/ through/ dew/ drops-(7)

your/ en/chan/ted /sprite!(5)

  5. Your poems are better than a picture, for a picture is worth only a thousand words,
    Whereas your poetry brings to its readers joy as would a flock of songbirds
    though some of them would sound so cryptic like the clues of crosswords
    Most of them that come straight from your heart
    would pierce ours like swords.

  6. PRG.. :) I don't know how you do it
    Find words and notions, together to fit
    That make me jaw drop and sit :)
    In awe at your superlative wit :)

    Thanks, so very much!
