WHAT IS HAIKU ?
Haiku is an unrhymed Japanese verse form of
three short lines containing 5, 7
and 5 syllables respectively. The haiku poet usually talks about
the changes of nature, and most haiku have a word that makes you think of
a season.It is a very short poetic form, probably the shortest in the
world.Writing and reading haiku makes you feel spiritual.It is derived from Yûgen
HOW
TO WRITE
HAIKU
Keep in mind the haiku form and pattern
a) no rhyme and no
metaphor
c) 3 short lines
Hawk preens
its feathers (5 syllables)
First winter rain pours down the earth (7 syllables)
Wetty leaves calm down
(5 syllables)
d) 17
syllables . If you add one line of 7 syllables to an haiku , you get
a tanka, another unrhymed Japanese verse form of 5 short lines containing 5, 7, 5, 7 and 7 syllables
respectively.
1. Think of as many season words as you can for
winter, spring , summer or fall.
2. Now write three lines. You must keep them short. Use just a few nouns and
verbs. You don't need to use adjectives. Line one and two should be different
images. Use line 3 to bring them together, and
give your readers a strong image.

Very first days of spring Fording the brook A solitary heron Hekigodô |
Old as I am though Even in front of scarecrows I am ashamed Issa |

Even the rabbit Has got a dangling ear How hot it is! Akutagawa Ryûnosuke |
The wind tumbled it I set it upright. It fell The scarecrow fell Otsuyû |
Now it's your turn... |
