Haiku For No More Fear
Burst forth in tears releasing
all fear then you are free
be what you can be
I wrote the above haiku poem today.
I wrote the original haiku poem in 1984 and this is the first time it has been published or even written down. and it looks like this.
Burst forth
in tears
releasing
all fear
I was studying at the City Literary Institute, in the middle of theater land; in London's West End.
It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life.
I met some of the most amazing writers and teachers at that college.
I never new that education could be so much fun and that teachers could be so incredible.
I owe those people so much. Thank you.
Now in comparing the two haiku poems. I feel my original 1984 version is more dynamic whereas following the method outlined below (traditional haiku form) makes the one I wrote today a little, I don't know what.
Same sentiment but somehow, something doesn't feel right.?
According to wikipedia:-
haikuplural of hai·ku (Noun)
Noun:
- A Japanese poem of seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five.
- An English imitation of this.
Your opinions would be much appreciated.
This in the strictest sense I guess, doesn't conform to the traditional form of haiku but it is my first and only attempt to write a haiku, on the subject of no more fear, I will attempt to improve.

Hi Aurelio,
This is my one and only attempt at haiku. I like the original too. Straight to the point.
Such a powerful message in just seventeen words! I like the way you added in the Haiku info. I have written just one Haiku in my life. It is on HP, called Bare Naked Nature. I tried my hand at Haiku because of all the cool ones that my followers inspired. Visit it when you get a chance and see what you think!
It's amazing what a little change in format will do. I think the second one forces you to contemplate the words more because they're broken into sets of two and forces you to stop. Voting this Up and Interesting. SHARED.
Hi Alastar,
Thank you for your kind comments.
I truly had no idea that I was in such an august institution, until years after I had left it.
Then it dawned on me, where I had been trained. I was duly humbled to say the least.
I was just an idiot off the streets and somehow ended up in one of the most prestigious colleges in London.
Don't ask me how, I just got lucky I guess.
I met some of the best teachers in my life there. One was an American.
She was our vocal coach. She was in the movie. 'Alien'
I am very proud of her. She was the one who liked this Haiku!
How weird how life pans out?
Molometer, your haiku entries here are contenders. They reminded of two things: the old slogan for the U.S.Army, "Be, all that you can be, in the army." And the other is the poems of your great genius poet John Keats. Both versions are powerful in their way. That's awesome to read of your enjoyable time at the City Literary Institute too my friend, those kind of experiences can make all the difference in the world.
Hi cloudexplorer,
Glad you found this interesting. I can't believe it sometimes; that I carried this in my head for so many years and it wasn't until I found hubpages, that I actually wrote it out again.
Haiku's are cool as we have to be concise. That is the hard bit.
Hey there Molometer, this is a cool Haiku, I actually just tried to write one myself, about a month ago or so, and it turned out to be a success.
I think poems like this are truly cool, and both of yours I liked in a big way. I think its the creativity that goes behind it all, that makes it a cool thing to write. Voted up & getting pinned onto my Pinterest poetry collection, nice work!
Hi Vinaya Ghimire,
Glad you liked it. It took me a long time to get it written down. But I did it in the end.
I loved your wordplay with fear and tear. Thanks for sharing your good work.
I added a brilliant video to this hub. Worth a look when you are feeling a little under the weather?
Truly we must count your blessings.
Thank you Audrey. I carried that poem around in my head for so many years. My literature teacher at college way back loved it so much, It just stuck with me. I am glad you like it too.
I loved this hub. I loved that you included the Kanji, but mostly, I loved your haiku--so well done!
Hello starstream,
Can't wait to read them.
Glad you liked mine too.
I once tried to write a Haiku poem. I am going out to search my notebooks in the garage to locate it. Inspiring.
Hi Robert,
Good on you. Give it a go and don't get hung up on the form, as long as you enjoy it and can manage to convey the meaning and spirit of the concept, or idea.
Go for it.
Hi Sunnie,
Glad you liked and look forward to reading your versions of this poetic form.
Great post about Haikus. I've always seen them as fascinating and a bit difficult to write. You may have just inspired me to give writing one a shot.
I have fallen in love with Haiku..I think it is amazing what one can say with so little words..it brings depth and meaning..Thank you for sharing your Haiku,
Blessings,
Sunnie
Don't hold your breath on it, but I will think about it for sure.
Hi Cindy,
Well we are westerners and I guess my skills are weak in haiku writing.(and arthritic) There are rules... in 'Art'? :)
It does say 'an English imitation' of this form.
These are the only ones I have ever written.
There are great fun though.
Trying to convey a feeling or idea in as few words as possible.
I like 'em and may try some more myself.
I look forward to reading your first. Thanks for the dropping in and reading the hub.
I just might have to give Haiku a try one of these days. I just wrote mu first poem and published it during the contest. Maybe a Haiku is next. What is the difference in Haiku and the number of syllables you used in each one? Neither seems to follow the rules. Just curious.
Thank you soulunique and welcome back again.
Hi Primpo, glad you liked it. I was about to answer you 2 weeks ago but the feed was so active I couldn't track your comment down.
I really just write everyday and usually I have something to publish.
I didn't realise that I had written so much until I saw the 30 hubs in 30 days thing and I had about 22 done already so I just wrote some more.
I have seen people much more prolific on hubpages. Some publish 20 in a couple of days. I assume they had them some where else and moved to hubpages.
I am not really concerned with the numbers though. I just want to get all this stuff down somewhere and hubpages suits me.
Must pop back over to your hubs too.
Molometer.. it just defines that Less is more. Love this!!!
alright, loved it, and how did you publish so much in such a short amount of time? I'm coming back to read more.. you gave me just what I needed to hear today, thank you.
Hi pearldiver,
This was my first and last attempt at haiku writing and as I said I carried it around in my head for decades, so it definitely struck a chord with me.
I will give it more thought in the meantime here is something for you.
tread softly
on the rice paper
leave no trace.
Thanks for your visit and comments I will endeavor to persevere.
Good efforts first up in both... but do not limit talent with a singular stroke of the brush. True masters in this genre allow each dip of the brush to create far more than a singular haiku stroke. Test the quality of your brush; it was designed to last beyond a thousand strokes. It will not serve you faithfully if you do not appreciate the given value of any zen writer, by any idle brush.
Thanks for sharing.. I look forward to meeting your brush.
Thanks makusr your comments are clear and understood.
molometer,
Greetings from MAKUSR. This genre is very difficult because you have to pack it all in in such a small place and make it look good and provide a good meaning. I hope you understand what MAKUSR wants to say and mean. This is very good. First one is quite good.
Lots of Love,
MAKUSR
freedom that solitude brings
I am very happy
in my own company
Nuff said
lol
I don't miss the meetings and the corporate world. Loving the solitude of retirement, watching people now is more interesting than listening to as you say their gibberish. LoL and I agree all meetings should start and end in Haiku it would be a much more relaxing atmosphere for sure.
Thanks for dropping in saddlerider1, Haiku are very interesting to me.
I work in an profession where people talk in eduspeak it's just nonsense dressed up to make themselves appear smarter than they are.
I am a great believer in occam's razor or the economy or succinctness in speech after sitting through endless meetings where they go on and on talking gibberish.
All meetings should be conducted in Haiku. What do you think lol
I like them both, but the first is my preference. I love the compressed expressions conveyed in a few words, they can most certainly be very powerful. History has shown us so many styles and Haiku is right up there with some of the best.
Thank you mikeq107. Much appreciated.
Well you come from a small country that has made a big noise around the world....powerful words My friend!!!
Mike :0)
LOL Hubertsvoice & Always you got me, well done.
What's not to like? Loved it....
You wre right about that
Well thank you Sneha, I'm glad you like it.
I have been carrying it around in my head for decades and felt the hubbers would like it.
Thanks for your great comment.
Now that's an amazing work!! Conveys a true and useful message.... :-) The extension too is beautiful!! Love it!!
Hiya Moon lightened.
Thanks for dropping in and leaving such a thought provoking comment.
Glad you liked both versions.
I aim to please my fellow hubbers:)
Hiya phdast7,
I am going to stick with the original.
I think sometimes traditions need to be adaptable especially when it is cross cultural.
In this case Japanese to English is not it could be argued a natural fit.
The Japanese ideogram above Haiku = Action. In other words these words mean business.
In English most closely equates to a verb.
English requires more descriptive elements to deliver the verb punch. Therefore slowing down the pace of delivery.
I think the stripped our bare bones version is better.
My English Lecturer back 1984 said it hit the nail on the head and she advised me to remove the last letter off of fears reducing it to fear.
So tradition, what tradition? :)
Hope this may help you to have a go a one or two. I'd love to read them.
I enjoyed both versions. They both illustrate a different "you" of the time. There is just something about Haiku writing; trying to paint a powerful mood or image with so few words. Thanks for sharing.
I agree with your own assessment. The 1984 version seems more powerful, although the recent version follows the traditional pattern. I have never been able to write Haiku myself, so I am a loss. I wish I had some helpful suggestion and I don't, but I like them both.
Hi stories inc. thanks for the read and comments.
I will defer to the bard.
"Brevity is the soul of wit"
Hamlet, 1602
I agree, very powerful and compressed. When you use a lot of one syllable words, they each sort of hamer in, but in a good way.
Thanks Hubersvoice, I appreciate your views and terrific comments. Cheers buddy.
That is an awesome message. I honestly don't know what else to say other than awesome.
Hi jenubouka, thank you for coming over.
When I think about it.
Some of the most powerful ideas are expressed briefly.
"let freedom ring"
"the pen is mightier than the sword"
to name but two.
Happy hopping and thanks again.
It is amazing how you can piece a small amount of words together to create a powerful message.

Hi rebecca,
That makes two of us that have written just one haiku. Maybe we should form a club lol.
Going to read your one now.
