What is your preferred style of haiku? Many here write American ku of 17 syllables 5-7-5. I prefer a more Japanese style based on two parts juxtaposed with season words. I will respond to your haiku. I think I have the word for May/June: iris. In Thailand it would be jasmine. In Costa Rica the guardia morada (orchid) in March. As a child... on my knees... hyacinths or dandelions in April. Each holds cherished memories. |
