Poetry Haiku – Style

Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry written in the pattern of 5,7,5 morae (partially similar to english syllables).I love poetry and have written since I was about 9 years old. I’ve had a few bits and bobs published and the poem below ,which is in the Haiku style, won a prize in a Poetry Competition in New Zealand.This poem was inspired by The Pleiadean’ s ( The Matariki’s ) plea to Wake up Now!  and is called NOW
NOW!

Wake up now children

The Matariki call us -

With their shining eyes

**************************

For we have slept long

And our earth is vibrating –

She senses the light

*************************

Call forth what is yours

Manifest a brighter day –

And the time is NOW!

*************************

Our seven sisters

Matariki family -

Urge us to wake up

***********************

See through illusions

A golden dawn approaches -

It’s happening NOW!

***********************

Now is wake up time

Listen to your heart’s truth -

She tells you no lies

****************************

Look to Pleiades

Feel their cosmic frequency -

Resonate in blue

****************************

Our seven sisters

Remind us of who we are -

For we are all one

And the time to wake up

is

NOW!

    from wikipidia……..Haiku in English is a development of the Japanese haiku poetic form in the English language.

    Contemporary haiku are written in many languages, but most poets outside of Japan are concentrated in the English-speaking countries.

    It is impossible to single out any current style, format, or subject matter as definitive. Some of the more common practices in English include:

    Use of three lines of up to 17 syllables;
    Use of a season word (kigo);
    Use of a cut or kire (sometimes indicated by a punctuation mark) to compare two images implicitly.
    English haiku do not adhere to the strict syllable count found in Japanese haiku,[1] and the typical length of haiku appearing in the main English-language journals is 10–14 syllables.[2][3] Some haiku poets are concerned with their haiku being expressed in one breath[4][5][6] and the extent to which their haiku focus on “showing” as opposed to “telling”.[7][8] This is the genius of haiku using an economy of words to paint a multi-tiered painting, without “telling all”.[9] Or as Matsuo Bashō puts it, “The haiku that reveals seventy to eighty percent of its subject is good. Those that reveal fifty to sixty percent, we never tire of.”[10]

    So, I ask you….where is the haiku poetry I thought I would find here?

    Wow I can see that you are

    Looking for something

    Which can’t be found on my site

    ****************************

    So might I suggest to you

    A trip somewhere else

    For Haiku that would suit you
