My thoughts:

your blog post intrigues —

at the mercy of the muse

quality varies

Enjoyed reading it, but you’ve just tasted the tip of the haiku iceberg (and you thought some of your metaphors were tortured).

btw, glancing at the top, the one that caught my eye was indeed life’s being a beach. IMO, FWIW, your choice of ‘will’ instead of the, what you call stronger, ‘shall’ is right. ‘Will’ just means the future and you will do it, but don’t say when or how long — up to you. ‘Shall’, on the other hand, shows determination, intent, thus perhaps out of place with a question of the indefinite ‘will’.

Curiosity: where’s the cabin? That will undoubtedly affect your poetry.

Comments:

The plural of haiku is haiku.

Many haiku groups no longer consider 5–7–5 required (but it is a defining factor most know), nor that a seasonal word or cutting word be necessary. Guidelines have been massaged. Flexibility reigns. (Too much in some cases according to many.)

The noun is spelled with a C but verb forms in Canada with S, so shd be [to practise].

Haiku is a form I like — seizing the moment. They just appear, fully formed by my mind. Others start as a seed, a concept, or idea/observation, and then have to be moulded/enhanced. Some I write are genuine haiku, others are not (my husband is the decider), so I call my poetry ‘maiku’. To maintain some sort of connection/resemblance/recognition I stick to the discipline of 17 syllables (one 7 and two 5s) — and have been criticized for doing so.

How much we envy you that you have or can find something notable to write about every day! and for 100 days!

Enjoy!

and share.
