Today's Haiku Day! I thought I'd try writing a haiku.
Sumireko-chan And her bestie Sanae Hanging out today!
Huh? That's a pretty random thing to...And moreover, you've juxtaposed an elegant word as sumire with a common one like sanae! That's like making sushi with the choicest cut of tuna and the cheapest indica rice.Ah... sorry... my habit of looking down on others of my generation is coming out again, isn't it?Sumire is a spring kigo, but sanae is a summer one! You're stacking kigo from different seasons! What a mess... A true haiku must contain a kigo or "season-word", normally used to contextualize the poem with respect to the season it is at the moment of the experience being described. Multiple kigo may be "stacked" in the same haiku for emphatic effect, but normally only if they're from the same season.
