HAIKU
by
Stefanie Lovelass
As
a recent haiku enthusiast, I have found the genre to best
be used in quiet times of reflection. Haiku provide an energized
platform for dramatic imagery amplified through word use.
Haiku has provided me with the option of following the traditional
forms or experiment with structure and diction. As a writer,
haiku has encouraged me to flex my creative muscles, resulting
in a fantastic overall improvement in my writing.
