For just a moment, let’s stop taking ourselves so seriously and write a non-traditional haiku! Not to disrespect the form, but to use the nuances of specific syllables ( 5 – 7 – 5) to express anything out-of-the-box or outrageous! From venting your annoyance, to tossing your best pick-up lines, to musings on space travel. There were no barriers! Just fun with language! Wherever your creativity takes you! We are looking for originality and relevance to current life.
Just get intensely creative! Your haiku can be simple and uplifting, daring or outlandish. Just follow the rules and make sure your poetry is 100% original.
