Greetings:
Today
is Syllabic Haiku Day; a day set aside to celebrate the tradition of Syllabic
Haiku in English. Haiku is the most
widely practiced syllabic form in English.
It is practiced by a wide range of poets, from complete amateurs to
professionals at Universities. Recent
developments in Syllabic Haiku that I have observed are; the emergence of the Haiku
Stanza Poem, and the Epigram Haiku (pithy thoughts expressed in 5-7-5 syllabic
form). I hope to have more to say about
the Epigram Haiku in the near future.
Take
some time today to read or reread some syllabic Haiku, or compose some of your
own to add to the already rich tradition.

Summer and Autumn
flirt with each other today;
a seesaw teeters.
