Haiku is a humanism
May 30, 2016 at 6:07 am (This post was last modified: May 30, 2016 at 6:13 am by carusmm.)
To me, haiku is a humanism, I hardly care what it is to others.

Eating a haiku.
Twisting the salt and pepper -
overwise or dumb.
Existence precedes
essence in all things.
I am what I am
because I made myself.

Someone please tell me
What the fuck I'm looking at
This is gibberish
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Haiku has officially a 5-7-5 syllable structure in English.

Haiku's magic.
Haiku's done five-seven-five
or otherwise.

Even Basho the old Japanese haiku master broke the rules of form when it was required.  

Senryu is a form of haiku with a more human touch than traditional haiku. Haiku is an acquired taste.  I acquired it as soon as I saw it for the first time.  It is a poetic expression with endless possibilities like humanism.  I love it as I love humanism.

Writing a haiku
Is easy just stop at the
Seventeenth syllab
How will we know, when the morning comes, we are still human? - 2D

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.

There was a lady,
Who came from Uttoxeter.
She was a good cock. . .

Goddamit. This form is too limiting for my artistic sensibilities.
