To one who saved my life one day,
from somewhere close, but far away,

with care and thought and expert skill,

one shot one kill

An Euro-Ku is what I call a Haiku done by a Westerner with a Western mentality but recognising and utilising the Eastern form of poetry and philosophical expression. In other words, adapting it to our way of thinking.

The Euro-Ku, as well as the Ameri-Ku (same idea but with an American mentality), must also contain three lines, however they can be as long as the writer needs or wants them to be. One important difference is that they must tell a clear, and simple story or complete thought. They must paint the picture with words clearly and with a fluid form of expression. Objectivity is the ideal here. Lastly, it must include a photograph or picture, original or done by someone who has ceded their rights to you that somehow, directly or indirectly refers to the text of the three lines.

That is basically it. The rules of the Euro-Ku and I invite anyone to try it. You poets out there might like it. It is something different and poetry, like all other art forms, is the search…
