Notes:

Sharon Cohen creates Haiku in non-traditional 3, 5, 3 pattern to practice the art of pithiness and to break writer's block. She also bends and breaks the rules for traditional Haiku, adapting them to her own design as follows:

Haiku do not tell stories and almost never involve people's actions. Haiku simply convey an abstract concept -- usually an emotion.

Haiku will generally present contrast. Creating these contrasts can be the hardest part. The Haiku poet wants a perfect catalyst to spark the right emotional note.

Haiku usually focus around imagery. Sharon Cohen's Haiku is often paired with a photograph from which the Haiku is inspired.

Challenge for the Reader:

Relating to the photograph provided, the reader is challenged to submit their own Haiku of any style and pattern, in the comments section below.
