The Wife gets home, sees the note and wonders to herself (and shared it with me later) "Is he writing poetry now?" What did I write?

I guess the Wife has a different idea of poetry than I do.
I don't remember the rules, but was it a haiku?
ReplyDeleteGH: According to the Wife, an English teacher and Beat Literature expert, The Japanese Haiku is a 5-7-5 sound poem. Since in English sounds are not counted, syllables are often used.
ReplyDeleteHowever, the American Haiku, popularized by the Beat Poets of the 1950s, is simply a freestyle three line poem without any number of syllable restrictions.
