Author Notes
A HUMANITY HAIKU is a type of haiku about a year's season and how people relate to it. It's not to be confused with SENRYU which it's about human nature and doesn't have a KIGO (season).

This humanity winter haiku is about a cold winter night and how a person relates to it through her senses. The warmth by the fireplace and her mother's quilt; the cold weather outside, and missing her mother; it's about the winter season and a woman's direct concrete and emotional reaction.

HAIKU is a short unrhymed poem that uses imagistic language to convey the essence of an experience of nature and season intuitively linked to the human condition. It juxtaposes two images in a way that prompts the reader to make an insightful connection between them. It alludes to a season of the year. In Japan, haiku is written in 17 syllables and three lines ( 5/7/5) but in English is 17 syllables OR LESS. Capitalization and punctuation should only be used when necessary. Use a dash before the satori ( the last line). Avoid alliteration, metaphor, personification, and capital letters (proper names are okay). === click here to read Haiku Society of America, HAIKU EXAMPLES === click here to read Haiku Society of America HAIKU RULES
