MODERN HAIKU is the English adaptation of Classic Haiku. It's written in one to four lines with no strict syllable count but is as brief as possible. These poems use a pause usually marked by a dash before the satori (an insightful twist to ponder). Images don't need to be taken from nature. Seasonality is optional. Alliteration and metaphor are okay. Never rhymes. The em-dash ( -- ) is used to emphasize an interruption in speech before the satori. Haiku usually doesn't have a title but in fanstory, we have to have one. The Haiku Foundation of America
Thank you very much for taking the time to read and review my poem.
