Today's note long/short/long
night rain = short line
insomnia bathed in = long line
tears of angels = short line
Today's tag
Some writers still swear by this; many dont; but i think most writers agree; if you are now getting into this genre its a good structural pattern to use
I invite you to share some of your long/short/long expertise with me
Thank you -- Adelaide for

I always try to follow the long / short / long pattern even though I'm not strict about syllable counting
ReplyDeleteIt's a good pattern to follow, especially for beginners.

My own opinion: Don't end the middle line with a preposition. It may give you a longer line but it's also a shapeless line. This "rule" may, of course, be broken for a good reason. And i agree that working with this form is good discipline for the veteran as well as for the beginner. A review of haiku journals suggests it is rather preferred than obligatory.
ReplyDeleteAdelaide thank you for sharing i'll post it up front
