Freestyle Haiku: Love

chrislyr (62)in #haiku • 8 years ago

Love. An emotion so powerful, it's difficult to fight. Race, sex, social status, colors; all are pointless in front of love... Enjoy the haiku

Rich or poor, what's the difference?

When it struck there is no escape

Everything pales in front of love

What is the difference between traditional haiku and freestyle haiku

Traditional haiku must follow a pattern, 5-7-5 (five syllables in the first line, seven in the second line and five in the last line with a total of 17 syllables). In freestyle, there is no set amount of syllables. The idea there is to catch the spirit rather than the form of the original Japanese art form.
