Author Notes
CONTEMPORARY HAIKU is a Japanese very short unrhymed poem that uses imagistic language to express the essence of a deeply felt moment in time. It resonates on a deeper level, leaving the reader enlightened and making an insightful connection. Haiku's theme is about nature and 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 written in one to four lines. Avoid capitalization (except proper names) and punctuation. Lines should be connected grammatically to improve the flow of thought.
