For when you need to breathe...

We shall not sip from the same glass,
No water for us, or sweet wine;
We’ll not embrace at morning,
Not gaze from the same sill at night;
You breathe the sun, I the moon,
Yet the one love keeps us alive.
~Anna Akhmatova

So if haiku isn't about syllables, what is it about? A good starting point is that it is a juxtaposition of two fragments. For example:
waiting
for the butter to soften–
summer rain

First, forget about syllables. I won't stop anyone from writing 5-7-5 haiku, but most English language poets don't. Why? I’ll just link to this.

A friend of mine mentioned some people have been asking about the free form haiku they've been seeing on Bluesky, so I'm creating a step by step guide to writing a haiku. Feel free to respond to the last thread (#8) with your ku if you want feedback or to share!
