POETRY OF THE NOUN
Many older Japanese haiku poets wrote haiku without verbs,adverbs,adjectives ,hence my title today.Of course they wrote in Japanese so such a theory do not always easily
cross/transfer linguistic barriers.
evening perfume
a flower blossom primrose
memory of you
SHOW DON'T TELL
It has been said s the genius of haiku is using an economy of words to paint a multi-tiered painting, without "telling all". Or as Matsuo BashÅ the master of the haiku puts it The haiku that reveals seventy to eighty percent of its subject is good. Those that reveal fifty to sixty percent, we never tire of.
Here are a couple of examples of mine:
oe'r the horizon
yesterday's imperfections
look,tomorrow waits
light through darkness spills
a verdant slyvan idyll-
night conceded the day
