Haiku How-To
A haiku is a Japanese non-rhyming poem with a set rhythm. When written in English, it's 3 lines long, with the first line limited to 5 syllables, the second 7, and the last line 5 syllables again. [Note on syllables: the word 'apple' when spoken has two syllables ("ap-ple"), while 'bicycle' has three ("bi-cy-cle"). 'Green' only has one.]
Traditionally haiku contain a reference to the seasons or nature. [Note: the plural of haiku is haiku.]
Example by Ifny:
- We listen to beeps
- Watch the sunset, push buttons
- Another day done.
Anytime Haiku
Feel free to add your own Haiku to the collection. Leave name or no.
