Hey cousinsorens,

I know a little about Haiku, it is a new venture for me. The main 'type' of Haiku is generally 3 lines. 1st line has 5 syllables, 2nd has 7, and 3rd has 5 again. And that is basically it. Doesnt necessarely have to rhyme. But traditionally they often have a theme of nature. There are several other forms of Haiku, but I am not well versed.

Cousin,
I can't seem to find the comment right now, but Harver Tomsson knows a great deal about what each line traditionally entails, as far as subject, action, etc. He can probably give a pretty good insight into the more traditional aspects if you message him or ask him to comment here. Sorry I'm not more help; it's driving me crazy that I can't find the right comment! Lol! Good luck!

THANKS, Suspense and Simone. I have actually sent Harver a request.

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
