A haiku plus is an 18-syllable “poem” that follows a 6-6-6-syllable scheme. I devised it for the obvious and not so obvious reasons.
The Unbearable Lightness of a Haiku Plus (July 15, 2021)
One two three four five six;
‘tis the first line. One more!
One two three four five six.
Un deux trois quatre cinq six ;
c’était la première ligne.
Un deux trois quatre cinq six.
1 2 3 4 5 6
And 1 + 2 + 3
1 2 3 4 5 6
Two hundred and twenty
can be significant
when they stand as a sum.
Just ask Pythagoras
who manipulated
numbers and heaven’s spheres.
I love you, my Anthi!
Did you feel me, Anthi?
“I did, my M, my love.”
