How about some haiku

Recommended Posts

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.
