Kaiju Haiku
Haiku in Japanese consist of two juxtaposed ideas and a
seasonal reference that frames the poem in the context of the natural world. It is not mopey free verse sliced into a 5-7-5
stanza. Those poems are not
Godzilla haiku.
These are
kaiju haiku:
The roaring typhoon
From Odo Island.
Red leaves falls into
The bonfire of Mount Aso.Rodans mate for life.
On Monster Island,
Unwelcome snow blankets all.Father and son sleep.
Diamond and ruby
Explode. Fireworks
light the sky,Ghidorah, and Gigan.
Cherry blossoms fall,
Burning through the soot and dustAbove San Francisco
