I found this reference on forms of English (North American) haiku some may find of interest. Most people know that Japanese haiku is traditionally of the form 5-7-5. However, you will often see many American haiku of the form 3-5-3. This page explains the linguistic differences that cause this apparent deviation from the standard form and why it makes sense. I found it an interesting read. Yes, you can expect a mini-challenge from me on haiku soon. And with spring just around the corner, you can probably even guess what the topic might be. So now I leave you With this simple little thought, Haiku of two forms. --- Soon coming Like spring time on page So practice jon http://www.ahapoetry.com/keirule.htm
