Haiku, Limerick & Villanelle

Haiku A haiku is a short poetic form from Japan characterized by  juxtaposition , seasonal  imagery , and number of  on , which are similar to syllables.  The form has been adopted into other languages with a focus on the number of syllables; in English, haiku is a three-line poem with phrases of five, seven, and five syllables, respectively.  However, in traditional Japanese haiku the most important element was the juxtaposition between different images with a  transition  via a “cutting word” (known as  kireji  in Japanese).  This cutting word can change the stream of thought or provide a  comparison  between the different lines.

The word haiku comes from  hokku , which is the opening  verse  of an older and longer Japanese poetic form called the renga.  Beginning ...

Epic & Mock-epic

Epic An epic is a long  narrative   poem  that is elevated and dignified in  theme ,  tone , and  style . As a literary device, an epic celebrates heroic deeds and historically (or even cosmically) important events.  An epic usually focuses on the adventures of a  hero  who has qualities that are superhuman or divine, and on whose very fate often depends the destiny of a tribe, nation, or sometimes the whole of the human race.  The English word  epic  comes from the Latin  epicus , which itself comes from the Ancient Greek adjective  ἐπικός  ( epikos ), from  ἔπος  ( epos ), "word, story, poem." In ancient Greek, 'epic' could refer to all poetry in dactylic hexameter ( epea ), which included not only Homer but also the wisdom poetry of Hesiod, the utterances of the Delphic oracle, and the strange theological verses attributed to Orpheus.
