What is haiku?
haiku are short, imagistic poems about things that make people feel connected to nature. Japanese have written haiku for hundreds of years.
Haiku form
Japanese poets usually write a haiku in 17 'on' (Japanese syllable sounds) in a short/long/short pattern of 5/7/5 on. These are shorter than English syllables. English haiku tends to be less than 17 syllables.
A haiku should share a moment of awareness with the reader, peace, sadness, mystery...these are only a few of the emotions that evoke haiku. in haiku, we have to give the reader words that help recreate the experience, the image or images that gave us the feeling. telling the reader how we feel does not make the reader feel anything and does not make a good haiku---Willian Higginson.
