~ Haiku
To me, finding what gives the haiku its essence is what is most important in its study. Sure, everyone knows about the 5-7-5 structure and the inclusion of a seasonal reference, but these seem secondary when one looks at what makes the haiku different from other poetic forms.Haiku Moment: It seems easiest to liken haiku to a photograph, which captures a moment in time. A pure photograph describes a scene, and this description causes an emotional response in its viewer. There is no caption on the photograph that tells us what emotional response we are to take from it. It is instead a simple moment in time, unencumbered.
Haiku is the same thing. When a butterfly lands upon an open flower, what does the haiku poet take from this? The same thing that his reader will take from it when he describes the moment in verse. But he trusts his reader to sense the same emotion from his accurate description of the scene. He does not need to say "How beautiful!" in reference to the moment, because his words should evoke the correct response in his reader.
HOMEWORK: Select an image to create a 5 - 7 - 5 Haiku. This poem should capture the moment this image projects. DUE: 11/21
As the steel titan rolls across the land you can hear it coming from miles around. It moves swiftly across the land with no sense of direction or bearing. It must be fed constantly in order to maintain it's movement. As it roars across the land something odd happens it stops. So with no where to go and no ways of getting there their it lies with no one to talk to, all by itself while the rest of it's soul moves onto a better place.
