This is a haiku I wrote some time ago. It has rhymes and pauses so I guess it breaks the rules? Though I must confess I wasn't aware of those two rules until reading this post!
Not boring at all! Getting your posts in my inbox every morning helps brighten my day. No matter the subject matter. You have a very, I think "optimistic" is the word, way of writing.
Not boring in the least, can't wait for the other essay. But not in the way that would increase performance anxiety about the next essay, just in a friendly way that makes it fun to write that one too. :-)
5/7/5 has got to be the most debated thing in haiku world. If you enjoy using it go for it but I like the Idea of English language haiku evolving into their own form. many Haiku 'masters' abandoned the traditional style and they often play with words, where the same character can have different meanings. Jack Kerouac did a great job of creating a new style of haiku while still retaining the 'essence'
I love this! I’m a member of an online haiku group run by Clark Strand. He writes and curates the haiku column for Tricycle magazine. So, I love the haiku lessons! Bring ‘‘em on!
I’m not so good with the change of thought. Her’s today’s haiku from my walk:
columbine has bloomed
bleeding against the mountain
a spring sacrament
I know I’ve got two season words in there--columbine and spring--but ... who cares?!
Love the essay about haiku. I stopped writing them because I saw too many people using the rules to dismiss the creations of others. I don't like that. You manage to explain quite clearly why the rules exist and why you should not always follow them.

Pass not timidly,
Knowing time’s captivity.
No. Live vividly.

Thank you!
A thoroughly enlightening read, much enjoyed!

Plus: the poem is a very good one.
