Haiku is one of the most important forms of traditional Japanese poetry often consisting of 17 syllables, often three lines with 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively. In western cultures, we've taken the haiku and made it our own - which means that it can be pretty far removed from what the Japanese masters had in mind. It can be a beautiful form of poetry nonetheless, even if it doesn't adhere to the original plan. This is one of mine:

On the lighter side, we've done some wild and wacky things with it. It's a great source of entertainment for those of us who have an interest in words. If you're looking for serious haiku definitions and contents, this site may not be for you...but you're welcome to stay, look around...and please sign the guestbook and give me your opinion.
Recently I challenged my friends, including poets and writers as well as non-writers and poets, to write haiku for me. I got a great response! Some of them who hadn't had any experience writing haiku said that I got them hooked, and..voila! the title of this page. You'll find links to their pages below. |
