  1. In ancient times, a Japanese man would court the woman he loved by writing a haiku for her. She would thank him by writing a poem called a tanka for him.

  2. Haiku is one of the most important forms of traditional Japanese poetry. Characteristics: • Short: Haiku is a 17 syllable verse form consisting of three metrical units of 5, 7, and 5 syllables. It is divided into two parts. The turning point, often marked by a dash or colon, shifts the intent from description to reflection or from close-up to a broader perspective. It has a certain pattern that does not rhyme. • Personal: Haiku provides a tiny lens through which to glimpse the miracle and mystery of life. It expresses a reaction to or reflection on what is described. • Descriptive: Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry that usually describes something in nature like: flowers, trees, animals, seasons and weather.
