HAIKU ~ OCTOBER 2012 CHALLENGE

The Pbase Monthly Challenge is to create photos to match Haiku. Haiku may be borrowed or newly created.
Today, haiku are written in many languages, but most poets outside of Japan are concentrated in the English-speaking countries and in the Balkans.
It is impossible to single out any current style or format or subject matter as definitive.
Some of the more common practices in Contemporary English Haiku are:
Use of three (or fewer) lines of 17 or fewer syllables;
Use of a season word (kigo);
Use of a cut (sometimes indicated by a punctuation mark) paralleling the Japanese use of kireji,
to implicitly contrast and compare two events, images, or situations.

While the traditional Japanese haiku has focused on nature and the place of humans in it, some modern haiku poets,
both in Japan and the West, consider a broader range of subject matter suitable, including urban contexts.

Great fun this month, thank you Lynn. I discovered even I could write Haiku, although the purists might not agree! :))

Lynn - it's been a good Haiku month - and I've enjoyed your images. It's good to see the variety of photos we have all chosen for our Haiku poems.
