The American Haiku was developed over a period of several years on an internet web site called FREEREPUBLIC.COM.

I would like to thank the owner, operators and financial donors who provide this public forum for allowing me, without condition, such a frivolous use of their bandwidth.

The American Haiku is a direct descendant of the traditional Japanese art form.

It contains nine, and only nine, beats and retains the homage to nature.

It is sometimes titled and sometimes not.

Sometimes when I’m drunk
I start vain haiku threads here
Ah, but is it art?

Along with the syllable count and line structure, haiku typically represents the intersection of the temporal with the infinite. Frog jumps in pond, etc.
