A kimo
There's an Israeli poetic form. It looks like haiku's love child with a lovely landay.
What’s a kimo?
According to this website, kimo poems are an Israeli ๐ฎ๐ฑ version of haiku. Apparently, there was a need for more syllables in Hebrew. That said, most of the rules are still familiar:
- 3 lines.
- No rhymes.
- 10 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second, and 6 in the third.
Also, the kimo is focused on a single frozen image (kind of like a snapshot). So it’s uncommon to have any movement happening in kimo poems.
Haiku’s lovechild – you really thought this through. Wonderful. ๐
well, the thinking it through is the fun part for me ๐
That’s fantastic, David. โคโค
๐ค thanks, Jeff ๐ค
Cute concept: Japanese + Afghani = Israeli Kimo written in English. Veritable United Nations.
well – I was more focused on the forms’ syllable counts than their countries of origin ๐
but, yes, your assessment is correct, Dolly โค
