What is Haiku?

Haiku is one of the most important form of traditional japanese poetry. Haiku is, today, a 17-syllable verse form consisting of three metrical units of 5, 7, and 5 syllables.

What to write about?

Haiku-poems can describe almost anything, but you seldom find themes which are too complicated for normal PEOPLE's recognition and understanding. Some of the most thrilling Haiku-poems describe daily situations in a way that gives the reader a brand new experience of a well-known situation.

The metrical pattern of Haiku

Haiku-poems consist of respectively 5, 7 and 5 syllables in three units. In japanese, this convention is a must, but in english, which has variation in the length of syllables, this can sometimes be difficult.

The technique of cutting

The cutting divides the Haiku into two parts, with a certain imaginative distance between the two sections, but the two sections must remain, to a degree, independent of each other. Both sections must enrich the understanding of the other.
To make this cutting in english, either the first or the second line ends normally with a colon, long dash or ellipsis.

The seasonal theme.

Must Haiku contain a kigo, a season word, which indicate in which season the Haiku is set. For example, cherry blossoms indicate spring, snow indicate winter, and mosquitoes indicate summer, but the season word isn't always that obvious. However, please note that Haiku-poems are written under different rules and in many languages. These are the difficulties, and the pleasure of Haiku.

Saawan ko mausam
Mehgai ko rimjhim
Varsha ko bhel.

Anjuli bhari
Aashirvaad sath rahyo
Purai umer bhari

Bhok le ranthan
Chhapro ko ghar
Khuldaina Aal-Maari

Madalu ko ghin ghin
Talma jhumi rahechha
Aaksh ko kalo badal

Sthapit purus
Ghar bhari luga-kapada
Aafu Nariman baje nangai

Dulahi aaien
Sunsan aagan
Basant aayo

Kahan haraye
Saathi jo yahan the
Aba kahan chhan?

Geet ra sangeet ko mel
Basant ko mausan
Samaya prem ko

Aanshoo mero
Be-Mausam ko varsha
Hardam barsinchhan

Aba raat paryo
Samjhana ko haawaa chalyo
Jhilmilayo ghar-aagan.
