Haiku Art Form

Japanese Haiku.
Pivotal to its culture.
This three-line poem.

It highlights nature.
Spring, Summer, Winter or Fall.
Meditatively.

Its simplicity
is so uniquely Zen form;
for one’s reflection.

Haiku poetics
is Art of syllogism.
With linguistic ploy.

Wittgenstein would say.
And Barthes, too, acknowledge, that
Haiku has great form.

Like a cup of tea.
In a Japanese tea house.
Offered by the host.

Warming appetites.
Haiku is creative art.
Brevity distilled.

A three-line haiku.
With premise and conclusion.
Sequenced as montage.

Haiku principles.
Governed aesthetically.
Are fundamental.

Poetry as wit
rendered in form of Haiku
for all four seasons.
