It took me long until I was able to feel the beauty in poetry.

I dare say that I was a terrible thing to talk to for any poet, really.

Even worth it was with the tightly limited structure of Haiku, that I found to be an affront against artistic liberty.


So it was quite surprising that Haiku of all poetry helped me to develop some senses for this beautiful form of writing.


It was when I realized that the limitations, the strict standards and rules are what is actually firing the creativity.

It is when you have to limit yourself to a minimum and to a given frame that you dive deep to the core of what you actually want to say.

And so very often this turns out to be of some amazing beauty...and truth.


Like what you did here!

I never paid any attention to poetry until coming to dA. I think HisDarkQueen ’s poetry attracted me to it because of the way she worked visual effects into her poems and worked with syllable counts. Then it became an intellectual challenge more than just simply rhyming.

I prefer short poems, so of course Haiku is perfect! And I agree that the strict rules do stimulate creativity, just like using old software with its limitations would force you to be more creative in creating an acceptable image.Β 

Thanks for commenting and for the Fav.Β

You're welcome


I tried a few times writing poems, or rather song lyrics in both, German and English but it never really worked out well for me.

There was only one in the end that was able to express what I wanted to express, in a way that was comprehensible for others

The only thing I knew about Haiku is the 5-7-5 structure. After a bit of research I now know less than I did to begin with. haha. As with all art there is debate on correct structure and content. But from what I did learn it seems you have captured the spirit.

Haha....yeah, it’s hard to nail down an exact format, and even examples by prominent poets don’t seem to follow. I’m going with 5-7-5, present tense, nature related, and the last line is related yet conveys another aspect.Β 

Thanks for reading and commenting.Β

I wasn’t familiar with Haiku, but thanks to you, I now know a bit more. Based on the examples that I have seen, yours is quite impressive.

Thanks! Finding meaningful words to fit into the syllable restraints is challenging, but also fun. It's like a word puzzle. Thanks for Fav'ing, too.Β

I've seen haiku's before without knowing what a haiku is. I find it fascinating, especially since I try similar things in many pictures. But thanks to you I have read something and understand a little more what it is about. And maybe I will try it too^^

It really is a fascinating form of poetry, and quite challenging. The first two sentences came quickly, maybe because they were based on the original poem, but the last sentence took over half an hour to figure out the five syllables. I love that sentence, though, because of the contrast it makes with the night while still involving sound.

Thanks for the comment and Fav, Miss T. I hope you do try it out!

I'm glad you think so, Beni. It was harder than I thought it would be.

Coming from you, Sudo, I'm grateful for the comment and Fav. The last sentence was the hardest to come up with because, if I understand it correctly, there had to be a contrast to the first two sentences. I think the bird singing is lively and also signals in a new day.

It is really a professional work - I was put in the silent night hearing the wind - and relieved to hear the morning bird singing.

The last sentence is actually awesome. In such a small number of words, the realistic world exists.
