Raindrop Haiku

a world of raindrops
a fleeting glimpse of myself
now it slips away

The haiku was created on August 30, 2023. It follows the classic 5-7-5 syllable pattern. The visualizations of the poem were made with DALL-E.

The inevitability of rain is one of the most common themes in haiku. Rain has always fascinated me as well, with its behavior that ranges from calm indifference to wild storm, from almost tender delicacy to overwhelming force.

Interpretation

This haiku is a profound and vivid poem that offers interesting aspects both formally and thematically.

Formally, the haiku follows the traditional Japanese structure: three lines with a 5-7-5 syllable pattern. This concise form compels me, the poet, to be precise and clear.

Moon Haiku

The moon on the path
it sleeps within a puddle
quietly alone

Conceived on 06.06.2024 and visualized in a surreal way by DALL-E via Bing and Microsoft Designer.

It only became a Haiku by chance, or rather, the words somehow came together on their own, and in the end, syllabically, it turned out to be a 5-7-5 Haiku. When words find their form naturally, it sounds effortless, less forced; after all, poets often hammer and hack away at their verses until they fit. In this sense, a Haiku is a Procrustean bed. Under such circumstances, I would not want to be a sentence. But here, everything came together effortlessly, a kind of literary underwater birth — in this case, in a puddle.

as the night begins to fall
in a summer blue
