“

This week we’re writing more poetry. So far, we’ve talked briefly about “free verse”–poetry that doesn’t rhyme and that uses line breaks of the poet’s choosing. However, this week we’ll take a look–and try writing–some poems that adhere to poetic structure, or “form.” The first one …

HAIKU

You’ve probably heard of haiku. Heck, you’ve probably written a haiku or two in grade school or high school. According to Wikipedia, haiku “is a very short Japanese poem with seventeen syllables and three verses. It is typically characterized by three qualities:

1. The essence of haiku is “cutting” (kiru). This is often represented by the juxtaposition of two images or ideas and a kireji (“cutting word”) between them, a kind of verbal punctuation mark which signals the moment of separation and colours the manner in which the juxtaposed elements are related.
2. Traditional haiku consist of 17 on (also known as morae though often loosely translated as “syllables”), in three phrases of 5, 7, and 5 on, respectively. (An alternative form of haiku consists of 11 on in three phrases of 3, 5, and 3 on, respectively.)
   
3. A kigo (seasonal reference), usually drawn from a saijiki, an extensive but defined list of such terms.”

Here are some examples from Basho Matsuo (1644-1694), considered the greatest haiku poet:

An old silent pond …

A frog jumps into the pond,

splash! Silence again.

Autumn moonlight-

a worm digs silently

into the chestnut.

Now, for some modern examples:

By Joyce Clement

apostrophe

the nuthatch inserts itself

between feeder and pole

semicolon

two mallards drifting

one dunks for a snail

By Sonia Sanchez, “Blues Haiku [let me be yo wil]”

let me be yo wil

derness let me be yo wind

blowing you all day.

By Richard Brautigan, “Haiku Ambulance”

A piece of green pepper

fell

off the wooden salad bowl:

so what?

Into space that is quite economical. (A)
