No Wanderer (Syntuit)

by Larry Chamberlin   Jul 10, 2015


Trust the man whose feet
point just the way he's going
horizons beckon.

A Syntuit is comprised of 17 syllables in three lines of 5-7-5. It does not rhyme and holds to most rules of the Haiku and Senryu including the juxtaposition between the two parts causing a sense of resonance. Some call this the "aha!" moment, but perhaps it need not be earth shattering to be effective. However, rather than presenting a visual message, it relies more on philosophical or reflective language. This form is an attempt to preserve the pure versions of the Haiku and Senryu forms by providing an alternative.
