@eperales Hi nice poem, but for a haiga you should be using a haiku or senryu.

If you’re not familiar with those forms, there are some great resources I can point you to.

@completethehaiga it's my fault for not Googling first. I'll be glad to do some reading if you care to share.

Looking forward to next week's challenge!

@eperales for haiku (and senryu) forget about the 5-7-5 business taught in grade school, it’s based off a misunderstanding of mora.

In general a haiku should juxtapose two images and have some manner of seasonality to it. Senryu have the same form but deal in more human matters.

This is a good summary of modern english haiku: https://thehaikufoundation.org/haikunow-contemporary-haiku/

@completethehaiga thanks for the pointers! I'll do my homework

@eperales glad I could provide some pointers. there are some great resources out there!
