Modern English Haiku or ME Haiku is a new form of haiku that follows the 5 / 7 / 5 / 2 pattern of syllables with one repetition: 5 / 7 / 5 / 2 and 5 / 7 / 5 / 2. Architect by me, ArchDuke Kenneth.

The traditional Japanese haiku's "on" or "beats" as known in the English verse, has a 5 / 7 / 5 pattern of syllables and no repeat.

Imperial Dogma

 

You must represent

To be an imperial

Hone the righteous path

In life

 

Almighty in love

You bear the weight of the world

Burden by duties

Caring
