Haiku - Truth Poem by Aden Orie

Its majestically said that - Begin challenging your own assumptions. Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in awhile, or the light won't come in.” Good thought.

Haikus are awesome forms of poetry. You have just proven it.

Oh my gosh. That's amazing. That is exactly how I feel/look at the world.

that is just awesome. haha. thanks.

that is so true and it was a great poem and i loved it great job

so true.....i like it

Well, this is not a Haiku, Aden, but it is a Senryu. According to Japanese standards, a Haiku poem can only be about Nature and make no mention of anything else in it. A Senryu poem, using the same 5-7-5 format as the Haiku, can be about anything else. I don't know what they are teaching in school these these, but to call this a haiku is an insult to all Haiku purists. Get yourself a book on the subject and you will learn that what I said is quite true. Sadly, most Americans seem to think anything in a 5-7-5 syllable format is a Haiku, but that is not so. Your poem is a fine Senryu and is well expressed. Carl.

one needs to be reminded of this truth of yours from time to time

yes yes so true greatness! ! ! I love it! mature words were written on this page. good job. Becca
