Poetic Musings: Touch and Blush Haiku by Elmedin Kadric

at the touch

of birdsong

the first blush

of spring

light packing, 2020

Elmedin Kadric 

Commentary: Written in the style of gendai haiku with a visual emphasis on the cutting/kire through the blank line between L 2 and L3, this spring haiku effectively brings to life the multiple senses (visual: Ls 3&4; auditory: L2 and tactile: L1) through concrete and evocative imagery.

And it might be interesting to do a comparison reading, generic and thematic,  of my haiku below:

dappled sunlight

flickering flickering

of a thrush's song
