a sky full of stars

how improbable
my parents would meet

A haiku in which the comparison is used, needs two parts. In this haiku the “sky full of stars” is compared to “the meeting of parents” and the million-to-one chance of that happening. The poet has achieved an aha moment! with the connection.

Using comparison is not easy, but at the other hand it’s an easy to choose way to make your haiku a beauty. I don’t think that I am using this technique very often, but it makes it sometimes easy, that through by e.g. lack of inspiration, you just need to bring together two different images / scenes to create a beautiful haiku … so here is my haiku in which I have used comparison.

in the early sunlight
morning dew evaporates –
spirits climb to the sky
