Clarifying a singular moment in time and space

A collection of traditional and modified spoken Haiku.
Written and narrated by James Bryant
Music performed by Dolphin Nein

Traditional Haiku generally adopts a 5 7 5 structure that consists of five syllables on the first line, seven syllables on the second line and five more on the third and last line.

The following are mostly modified Haiku which includes the traditional structure as mentioned above but with a twist. The last words on the first and third lines must rhyme. In addition, I have also created Haiku which consists of at least six Haiku to form one large Haiku.
