By Flapper Press Poetry Café:
It's time for the Flapper Press Poetry Café's Annual
Juliet Poetry Contest!
Let's celebrate love with something short and sweet:
Haiku Love Poetry!
What is a haiku?
Haiku (or hokku)
"A Japanese verse form most often composed, in English versions,
of three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables.
A haiku often features an image, or a pair of images,
meant to depict the essence of a specific moment in time."
— Poetry Foundation
