Lets peep into a little bit of Haiku.Its one form of poetry that combines form ,content and language in a meaningful, yet compact form.Nature, Feelings and experiences are expressed mostly in Haiku poems.The common form of Haiku is just 3 lines.The first one will be written with 5 syllables,second one is written with 7 syllables and the last line with again 5 syllables.Overall being only 17 syllables.(A syllable is an elementary sound, or a combination of elementary sounds, uttered together like now -1 syllable,today-2 syllables).The Haiku must paint a mental image on the mind of the reader who reads the Haiku.
Haiku(5-7-5) Theme Complaining
I have written three Haiku's separately below but they relate to one another.
All is not well when
An Expectation Shatters
Started To Complain
Feelings unexpressed
Creating mental tension
Started To Complain
Before You Complain
Understand consequences
Let your feelings out
