"Imposing mountains,
obstructing the way to my
dreams; I look then climb."
What would you do if you're met with an imposing challenge? A haiku that uses the mountains as metaphor for an obstruction in one's dreams.
What is the difference between traditional haiku and freestyle haiku
ā
Traditional haiku must follow a pattern, 5-7-5 (five syllables in the first line, seven in the second line and five in the last line with a total of 17 syllables). In freestyle, there is no set amount of syllables. The idea there is to catch the spirit rather than the form of the original Japanese art form.
