Sun Poisoning Poem by Axley Jade Blaze

Author's Annotation(s) : While slated 'haiku' the poem does not abide to the 5-7-5 syllable structure, as it was originally designed as an opener to NARCOTARY: Chemical Warfare (a literary fictional memoir) , before being released with any|all additional poetry collections.

The American Haiku is not exactly the Japanese
Haiku. The Japanese Haiku is strictly disciplined
to seventeen syllables but since the language
structure is different I don't think American
Haiku's (short three-line poems intended to be
completely packed with Void of Whole)should worry
about syllables because American speech is
something again...bursting to pop.

Above all, a Haiku must be very simple and free
of all poetic trickery and make a little picture
and yet be as airy and graceful as a Vivaldi
Pastorella.
