haiku by Alif Layla; ID No: 082-10-444;Batch:14th:

(1)   the vehicles on the road
        waiting for green signal
        counting seconds

(2)   the labour
        bricks on head
        climbing the stairs


(3)   a troop of soldiers
        marching through the streets
        people in awe running away

(4)   a yellow leaf falls
        a ripple
        in the water

I hope,you would like.

Dear colleagues of English department,
At the time of visiting DIU forum, ‘HAIKU’ caught my attraction since I worked on it almost 14 years back, probably in 1998, when I was the student of Bachelor in ELT. So many good memories just clicked on my mind after seeing your write up. Thanks for selecting ‘Haiku’. Though my work was just for an assignment for 10 marks, I learnt a lot for its interesting nature. But got little confused when I studied on comparison: English & Japanese Haiku. There is great debate over what is the correct form and content of an English Haiku verse because of the differences between English and Japanese language. Later on I got very helpful ideas & suggestions on this issue in "Sixty-five (Conflicting) Rules of Haiku" by Jane Reichhold. Hope you people will also enjoy this writing by Jane Reichhold.

Thank you once again & wish to visit your page in future InshAllah.

All the Best,

Dear Madam,

Thank you for suggesting the text "Sixty-five (Conflicting) Rules of Haiku" by Jane Reichhold.I hope,people who are interested in haiku will find it helpful as there is a lot of controversy regarding the style of English and Japanese haiku.I have just tried to encourage the students of English department to venture a new territory.In many of these, they did not follow the strict format of it.

Its also nice to know that you are also from ELT.

Hope to have more feedback from you.
