QUOTE (Terocon101 @ Oct 31 07, 20:16 )  midnight stroll a gust of leaves throws stalking shadows Really nice and effective. Is there a name for the 3-4-5 sequence? I like "short line verse". ace |

Hi Ace,
Nice to meet you. The form is "western haiku" I suppose. Syllable count is less important than the (5-7-5)traditional Japanese haiku, although less than 17(usually 12 or so) is the norm. My effort is not traditional at all, although it contains a kigo(ref to season) ie. "a gust of leaves" suggests Autumn, (open to interpretation) it mentions a human act 'midnight stroll' traditionally that means it's a senyru. Sorry if I've bored you, this was really just a fun piece for Holloween but I could talk about this form till Christmas, even though I'm only a newbie to the art. Delighted you enjoyed, looking forward to dealing with you again and I hope you enjoy the site and its many brilliant inhabitants. Best Wishes. . ······· ·······Terry
