What is Haiku ??
Haiku is a poetic form and a type of poetry from the Japanese culture. Haiku combines form, content, and language in a meaningful, yet compact form. Haiku poets, which you will soon be, write about everyday things.


Features of Haiku
Haiku , plural haiku, is a form of Japanese poetry, consisting of 17 morae (or on), in three metrical phrases of 3,5 and 7 morae respectively. Haiku typically contains a kigo, or seasonal reference, and a kireji or verbal caesura. In Japanese, haiku are traditionally printed in a single vertical line, while haiku in English usually appear in three lines, to parallel the three metrical phrases of Japanese haiku.


Sample of Haiku
The Rose
The red blossom bends
and drips its dew to the ground.
Like a tear it falls

A Rainbow
Curving up, then down.
Meeting blue sky and green earth
Melding sun and rain.

Be considerate
for those you love in the world
don't till you lose them.
