Connecting Branches – A Treeku Word Jam

[iblieve]

A P your words rock
cosmic musings devinely
penned by alien

You always light up my poetic skies

[Doreen Peri]

see me see you there.
stare at a world in turmoil.
focus on passion.

i am a pinpoint
on the map.
trap me in your vision
and i promise to create
a revision of your view
while remaining true
to you.

Let it rip AP, SooZen and judih and cecil been teaching me by example for years. What I heard is once you know the rules you can break them. 17 sylables is from the Japenese language, English haiku is about 12 (I think but I know nothing --- I write haiku like inifinite monkeys write hamlet)and besides that this is what it says on the about this jam link on page one.

Please feel free to use the haiku form of poetry during this Jam.
You are welcome to expand your verse into other forms as well.

haiku comes intuitively
in syllabic pattern.

or not -- poem rules are not like
the age of consent.
