What’s a kimo?
According to this website, kimo poems are an Israeli 🇮🇱 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.
Thank you for sharing your poetry and the information about different poetic forms. I have been lax in my reading and writing recently, but it is always refreshing to read your writing, and I always learn something too!
I particularly writing which has a distinct visual form as well as literary. In your poems the decreasing line length helps to create the sense of motion, or something about to happen. I really do like it. 😊
💞 Thanks, Hamish 💞

Adaptation is progress. 🙂
yeah… but hopefully it won’t be forced upon us…
It shouldn’t be. Forced adjustments are never good. 🙂
Space. 🤓 Poems. 😊 Poems about space = 💓
