Oooha… shivers_!
cold Fall rain
one drip invades your nape
five strike back
In a traditional sense, this doesn’t really seem like a haiku, given that the last two lines are the description of a personal, emotional response. It seems like it could be worked into a really good tanka though.
i like this haiku alot.
unlike georgia though,
i like this haiku for
its directness. the
poem lays everything
right on the table,
yet allows the reader
plenty of space to
bend & expand the poem
to create a new poetic
shape. think spandex,
think spandex poetry!
good job.
while it’s true that the two lines describe an emotional response, the description is itself objective in that it doesn’t use any emotional words such as “sorrow” or “depressed”. I think it is avant-garde.
