2 Haiku (Haiku) by Blindproject217

PURSUIT Crowds getting restless Chariots are closing in Hands part great divide ALONE Pipe smoke fills the room A winter raging outside No one to confide

Haiku

The haiku is a japanese poetry form, evolved from the renga during the 16th century. It is a three line, unrhymed set of seventeed syllables (5-7-5).

It is typically a pair of contrasting concrete/sensory images, with each image so dependant on the other that the whole thing collapses if one word is altered.
