Haiku
I want to tell you how much fun writing haiku is. It is short, each line a rhythm of syllables, and consists of three lines. The content of haiku has to do with nature and the seasons. A haiku can be philosophical or a simple rich breath.
The creator of haiku was Matsuo Basho. Read how simple the Japanese haiku is. Powerful and worthy of a deep breath.
When I wrote Still/Haiku I was nothing but frustrated. Haiku demands that you stay present in the very second of the writing. It was powerful and I grew to both love and respect the genre. Try it.
Have fun,
Keep the pen moving,
