Love poems have been written since men and women have been able to characterize with each other. Traditionally, it's been the realm of the western poet. Not anymore.
Haiku, the age-old poetic form of Japan can also be used to originate love poems. For example, consider this haiku:
Love Poem
spring morning --
a coast of her hair
between the kiss
In just a few short words, a photo is created. This is the beauty of haiku. It gives you a snapshot of a present occasion - something that has taken place and is precious, but fleeting. The Japanese were and are masters of capturing these kinds of moments.
All it takes are three lines and a branch to talk about. Most contemporary haiku poets do not bond to the 5-75 syllable rule. Their main concern is to capture the spirit of the branch the haiku way. And this means using present tense descriptions. The beauty of the haiku poem is that it authentically captures the present occasion better than any form of poetry! And when it comes to love poems, what could be better than a present occasion preserved forever with just a few words.
With cheaper and elegance, haiku take you to the scene.
Usually, haiku are about nature. The term senryu is used to characterize a poem like haiku where the branch is the human realm. Both are similar in form and structure.
