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
Up the ladder:
A Haiku-cum-thingy (really)
Down the ladder:
The Martyr (Without A Cause)

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.
