How to write a Haiku and what is a Haiku - Bluewrec - Oct 12, 2014

Haiku's are fun forms of poetry that are usually about nature. They are pretty simple to make. Haiku's originate from Japan. Some of the most famous Haiku poets are Matsuo Basho, Yosa Buson, and Kobayashi Issa. All those are Japanese names. Here is an example of a poem written by Kobayashi Issa:
Blossoms at night,
and the faces of people
moved by music. It's a very little poem right? But it's about nature and has meaning.

Now, let's learn about making a haiku!

The first line is five syllables
The second line is eight syllables
The last line is five syllables

This is my final product:

Dawn is now breaking
Light flies, illuminates the sky
Finally Sun sets

Okay, I hope you enjoyed your poetry lesson! Now you can go ahead and make a beautiful Haiku! 🤝🤝🤝

This thread just reminds me of how much I hate poetry.
