(Haiku contests at Tomato Art Fest in East Nashville,
which thus inspired post-Tomato Art Fest porch-sitting haiku-writing on an East Nashville porch,
Georgia Winter Institute [disability conference] in Columbus, GA),
...I decided to invite folks to write haikus at my 30th birthday party.
This is the one I wrote at the party:
Warm red hearth welcomes
Cuddle up cozy - it's home
Hospitality
If you're interested, I invite you to post a comment with your own haiku. Guidelines for haiku writing, according to wikihow:
Traditional structure:
5 syllables
7 syllables
5 syllables
=17 syllables
Regarding length:
-distill an image using few sounds
-should be able to be expressed in 1 breath
...so it can be fewer than 17 syllables total
Regarding content/inspiration:
-haikus generally don't rhyme
-use sensory language to capture a feeling or image
-often inspired by an element of nature, a seasonal reference, a moment of beauty, or a poignant experience
-contains 2 juxtaposed ideas
...try writing 1 straight line with a dash between the 2 ideas
