A leaf adrift

Washed away by the river of time

To its destiny

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.

And yet, there is more to kaiku than 'on' or 'morae' - which incidentally, are not even syllables. There should also be references to time or seasonal or place shifts by use of recognisable allusions or metaphor. Then there is a cutting word: the un an dcutting word or idea, are things that do not exist in English or many other languages. For instance, in the famous example: the pond is symbolic of summer, while the frog symbolised Fall.. I need to research a lot further, this freestyle haiku ;-)

Here's my (freestyle) haiku:
Kitchen a pack of ramyeon
containing spices and stuff
Television CSI and I'm slurping.
