The haiku of the day beginning with 21 October 2022 (Day 4056) through 12 June 2023 (Day 4290) are reflections on paragraphs from Jane of Lantern Hill by Lucy Maud Montgomery. The haiku of the day beginning with 13 June 2023 (Day 4291) are reflections of The Story Girl by Lucy Mud Montgomery.
~
One reader told me that these are not really haiku. He is correct if you insist on the traditional Japanese style which begins with a reference to nature, usually indicating a season, and sticks to what one sees rather than what one thinks.
~
They are probably senryu. The basic difference between haiku and senryu is, haiku is written about season and nature, whereas senryu is about the ironies of life
~
I’ll probably keep calling them haiku.
