Poetry form – Hay(na)ku

In a traditional Hay(na)ku, there are:

A tercet: 3 lines.

A total of 6 words: 1 in the first line, 2 in the second line, and 3 in the third line.

There is no restriction on syllables or stressed or rhymes.

Variations:

In the ‘reverse’ haynaku, the longest line is placed first and the shortest last. The total is still 6 words: 3 in the first line, 2 in the second line, and 1 in the third line.

Multiple hay(na)ku can be chained to form a longer poem.

      1. Only an issue when we had to cross to solve a problem with a downed tree across the creek by our place. But we managed – had to go to the road… then we asked the folks who lived close to the spot on the other side – who let us cross their yard (we drove to their place).
