What is a Haiku?

My favorite poetry style is a Haiku (plural Haiku). 

hai·ku /ˈhīˌko͞o/ (noun) It is the most important form of traditional Japanese 

poetry. It contains a numerical value of seventeen unrhyme syllables compose in three lines of 5-7-5. The Haiku traditionally evokes images of the natural world. 

 When the three lines refer to the human conditions the Haiku is called: Senryū (川柳) literally means "river willow" or Human Haiku.

Senses Haiku

 By Maritza M. Mejia@2015

from Poems, Thoughts and More Page #45

Sightless

If we were sightless

We would see human’s essence

Not skin colors

 Unscented

If we were unscented

We do not enjoy nature

And the beauty of life

Unheard

Voice without sound,

Are we listening to others?

Attend to be heard!

  

 Tasteless

Life without flavor,

Empty, gloomy, dim, tasteless,

Toss color to your life!

Untouched

Undesirable!

How could this be possible?

Humans need humans.

Intuition

One precious value!

Watch, sense, listen, and feel,

Follow it on your path.
