Haiku
full moon kills the Sun
history makes a circle
of love, war and us
Haiku Poet @Lubna Yusuf
English haiku can follow the traditional Japanese rules, but are frequently less strict, particularly concerning the number of syllables and subject matter.
Traditionally in Japan where the Haiku originates, a three-line format with 17 syllables arranged in a 5–7–5 pattern or about 10 to 14 syllables,which more nearly approximates the duration of a Japanese haiku with the second line usually the longest. Some poets want their haiku to be expressed in one breath.
