bitter sweet

By Kat Myrman

bitter sweet 

from birth living is about survival
amidst fleeting bursts of bliss
to sweeten the trauma

Kimo poems are an Israeli version of haiku. Apparently, there was a need for more syllables in Hebrew. That said, most of the rules are still familiar:

• 3 lines.

• No rhymes.

• 10 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second, and 6 in the third.

Also, the kimo is focused on a single frozen image (kind of like a snapshot). So it’s uncommon to have any movement happening in kimo poems.
