The following couple of poems aren’t typical haikus because they don’t include a kigo ( a seasonal reference) and they don’t abide by the well-known haiku pattern ( three lines of 5, 7 and 5 syllables ) but I hope they are imagistic enough and capture the moments I want to share with you .
A salmon swims down a river
leaps out of a waterfall
a grizzly bear snatches it .
A squirrel scampers out of a hole
Into a large thick turf
A golden egale grabs the squirrel up.
I like these haiku’s! I have not yet tried my hand at them. I just heard a phenomenal one from my friend… I can’t remember the exact text. It goes through the gruesome adjectives… claws, pasty grin and flashes of red. Then it ends with “I hate clowns”! I cracked up.
Love your Haiku’s …they are impressive …something about them leaves a mark on my soul…maybe because they are short and I can take it in quickly…..Thank You..!
Yes very good,I don’t understand many haikus,but these I do and they are good! Have a good day Rahim
Luv ya 😀
