| is for Kelly Lune |
The Kelly Lune was created by American poet - Robert Kelly, an English
language adaptation of the Japanese haiku.
It is therefore also known as American haiku. A simple form with the structure 5-3-5
syllabic counts, it does not have the constraints of the traditional haiku, no
“cuts” no season words, rhymes or not as the poet pleases. Incorporating any other poetic device is fine
too.
Here is my Kelly Lune -
Her eyes burdened with
thick lashes
and whip-thin, sharp grief.
She smiles in her sleep
her eyelids
tremble in some dream.
An easy form to write to. You can read more about Kelly Lune (and its variations) here.

Well this is much easier than the haiku, but I must admit I do feel partial towards the haiku :)
