Haiku Corner

Guest Author: RAD

If Allison were Japanese, she would probably be a Haiku teacher. But she is not Japanese. She’s not a teacher either.

Haiku is one of the most important forms of traditional Japanese poetry. Haiku is, today, a 17-syllable verse form consisting of three metrical units of 5, 7, and 5 syllables.

I was so impressed by her haiku contest back in July, that I am calling all readers to leave some more ‘ku stains here. Come on now. It’s fun.

Here are my contributions:

Allison is missed.
Will she want a hamburger?
How much for some fries?

I just learned English
Before I spoke only Dutch
Dutch haters are mean

Haiku very fun
Traditional poetry
I spit on it bile
