This is the first in a series or triplet of American Haiku called "Wine,Blood and Butterfly" which I will be completing in the near future, hopefully.
=======================================
"Haiku is one of the most happy and important form of traditional Japanese poetry. Haiku is, today, a 17-syllable verse form consisting of three metrical units of 5, 7, and 5 syllables. Since early days, there has been confusion between the three related terms Haiku, Hokku and Haikai. The term hokku literally means "starting verse", and was the first starting link of a much longer chain of verses known as haika. Because the hokku set the tone for the rest of the poetic chain, it enjoyed a privileged position in haikai poetry, and it was not uncommon for a poet to compose a hokku by itself without following up with the rest of the chain." -Wikipedia
=======================================
Technical notes- This was shot with a cheapo Sony TRV Camcorder. It was purposely shot in low light with an added sepia tone for the grain, yellowing and blur. NOTHING was done to the footage in post-production. I would like to thank my model, Erin, for her patience when staring and remaining still. ha ha. Wine was written, filmed and edited by Joseph Negra of RGENerationX.
Music suits the images. Good poem, interesting filmwork, especially the geisha flashes.
