#haiku_1

@The_Bong_Woman I think that would be best. Calling yours a haiku is like saying that an apple is a pear It's the same as some people calling 4-liners 'limericks', which they clearly are not. Anyway, I was distracted from saying that your 2-liner is very good.

@jaboUK thank you.

@jaboUK I get that Jabo! See I wrote that it doesn't follow the traditional haiku rules? It's more of a two liner, yes, but I have come across many social pages who write haiku without bothering about the syllables. Maybe it's not justified okay. But they do. So, I just tried my hand in it. But perhaps I should stop calling them haiku and just name them two-liners eh?

@The_Bong_Woman it is basically about saying as much as possible in few words

@arthurchappell exactly.

@arthurchappell thank you so much! Most of the time I write long poems which are in a blank verse form. So, I guess I just applied verse libre in haiku!

Yeah... I guess so. I will give it a try though.

@TheInvisibleMan haiku is a traditional form of poetry that originated in Japan where there are basically two lines (as far as I know): the first line is made up of five syllables and the second one is made up of seven syllables.

@The_Bong_Woman Interesting. Thanks.

@TheInvisibleMan sure anytime!
