Modern Haiku is a brief Japanese poem that epitomizes a single moment. The form is 17 syllables or LESS, in 1 to 4 lines as brief as possible. It doesn't have to follow the 5/7/5 pattern because Japanese and English syllables are not the same. It uses the juxtaposition of two concrete images, often a universal condition of nature and a particular aspect of human experience, in a way that prompts the reader to make an insightful connection between the two. The best haiku alludes to the season of the year. Poetic devices may be used. The haiku is written from an observer's point of view.. -- modern haiku rules -- modern haiku examples If you have any haiku questions, don't hesitate to contact me.
