  1. Poetry is Fun Haiku

  2. Haiku • Major form of Japanese verse evolving in 17th century • 17 syllables separated into 3 lines of 5, 7, and 5 • does not rhyme • Usually contains allusions or comparisons • Written on the subject of nature

  3. Haiku (continued) • The “Haiku moment” is a specific event or observation that brought an “ah” from deep within you. • Zen, often associated with haiku, is a discipline of harmonizing the body with the mind. • Being one with nature does not mean being sentimental; it sees the world as it is: beautiful and harsh, elegant and savage.

  4. Haiku (continued) • Traditional Haiku must refer to the time of year: mentioned by name or simply implied. • Haiku is exact: don’t write how it affected you, write exactly what took place. • Haiku is a moment captured while in solitude • Haiku often has a “twist” in the experience; the unexpected has occurred and is celebrated. • Haiku does not use complete sentences; each line is a complete thought, but is open ended so the reader can continue the experience • Haiku lines have little, if any, punctuation • Always written in present tense
