IMPROMPTU HAIKU 2 (Reader Participation Requested)

in story •  8 years ago 

I've read about this discourse on Haiku syllables as well, @irvingprime. For the sake of this exercise I wanted to work within the 5-7-5 syllable structure for the challenge of it. You bring up a good point about the "Aha" moment at the end, all good haiku have this element. I mainly use the form as a writing exercise. I've found if you do this enough you become much better at expressing your ideas in a more condensed way, with less words.

You are absolutely correct about haiku helping to learn to "condense" expression. It is very good practice for distilling thoughts down.
