listen in silence as nature orchestrates spring winds blow unceasing

A Monoku is a type of poem which is made up of a single horizontal line. Traditionally considered as a haiku writing, it is currently accepted as a variant of the haiku form of poetry. Monoku emerged as an independent style of poetry in the 1970s.

Unlike the Haiku which is made up of three outlines with a total of seventeen syllables, Monoku features a single line consisting of seventeen syllables or even fewer.

It contains a pause brought about by speech rhythm with slight or no punctuation. The first letter should not be capitalized – but instead written in lower case.

    I hadn’t heard of a Monoku before – this is a fascinating form. I love short and shortest poetry. I just realized that you have written lots of them. What can I say? Came to the party late and should have followed you sooner!!!
