Answer 2

Hi.

A Haiku is a Japanese poem about nature. It is 3 lines long. Line 1 = 5 syllables Line 2 = 7 syllables Line 3 = 5 syllables . All together 17 syllables .

There's not a huge focus on grammar in haiku - don't try to use complete sentences. The haiku may or may not be titled. It may or may not contain punctuation and capitalization.



A haiku doesn't use metaphor or simile. Many writers utilize comparison and contrast between two images that (often) seem to be unrelated at first glance.



There is no rhyming pattern to haiku; rhyme disrupts the imagery. And imagery is what haiku is all about.



Haiku relates an experience and/or describes an object/event - by describe, I mean that a haiku utilizes one (or more) of the five senses in relation to the object or event. It paints an image.



A haiku also doesn't reference emotions - emotion is what each individual reader brings to the haiku. This allows one haiku to have multiple meanings among a wide variety of readers.

. Some examples of haiku poems.



In Winter Freezes

Be There Painful Legacies

Now Growing Colder .





In Summer Breezes

Be There Youthful Memories

Now Growing Older.





a tree stands

in the pavement

the city grows





muddy field

flattened players

football bounces





Sun moves on rubble

Weeds grow

sideways in small







Haikus are easy

they are only three lines

1 2 3 4 5

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

1 2 3 4 5

•the 1st line has five syllables

each-leave-is-fall-ing

1 2 3 4 5

•the 2nd line is seven syllables

sum-mer-time-is-well-ov-er

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

•the 3rd line is five syllables

aut-umn-time-is-here

1 2 3 4 5

And there it is

each leave is falling

summer time is well over

Autumn time is here

Answer 3

Haiku is a poetic form and a type of poetry from the Japanese culture. Haiku combines form, content, and language in a meaningful, yet compact form. Haiku poets, which you will soon be, write about everyday things. Many themes include nature, feelings, or experiences. 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. This is the challenge of Haiku - to put the poem's meaning and imagery in the reader's mind in ONLY 17 syllables over just three (3) lines of poetry! Check out some Haiku at Haiku Salon (see Lesson 2 for the link).

Answer 4

Well, "motion" is too large and vague a topic to write any kind of poem about. Especially for a poem as short as a haiku, you want to zero in on one particular example of motion. Maybe you want to write about a tree swaying in the wind. Maybe you want to write about the tide coming in or going out at the beach, or about water flowing in a stream. Maybe you want to write about the motion of some bird or animal or fish or insect. If you pay attention to different creatures, you'll see that they all move in different ways. You can write about the fast motion of a shooting star or the slow motion of a drifting snowflake. Just pick one specific motion, and then use what your teacher has taught you about the three-line structure of a haiku.
