I wrote my first AmeriKu today
The AmeriKu is an American Haiku invented by poet Joseph Randell Sherman. The form is four line with a syllable count of 3-5-3-4 respectively and is unrhymed. Mr. Sherman has an example of this form at AmeriKu. The themes and subjects for this form are nature, spiritual or a combination.
Below is my own attempt at writing this form. This poem is the second one of this type I have written today. The form may look easy, but sometimes making sure the syllable count is correct is difficult. Especially when looking for the right word that fits the syllable count.
Stone pine boughs
wave in winter's wind
dawn rays warm
wind chill factors.
