Haiku is an old form of Japanese poetry. Many Haiku themes include nature, feelings or experiences and usually they use simple words and grammar. The most common form for Haiku is three short lines. The first line usually contains five (5) syllables, the second line seven (7) syllables, and the third line contains five (5) syllables.
Haiku doesn’t rhyme! A Haiku must “paint” a mental image in the reader's mind.
We learn how to write Haiku from Gemma.
Here is an example of her work:
Eyes softly searching
Eyes creating dialogue
Eyes that know your soul
