HAIKU is a Japanese short unrhymed poem that uses imagistic language to express the essence of a deeply felt moment in time. It resonates on a deeper level, leaving the reader enlightened and making an insightful connection between the top two lines and the last one, called the SATORI. It originated in the thirteenth century and was mastered a century later by Matsuo Basho. HAIKU uses a dash to pause before the SATORI.. Haiku is about nature and it alludes to a season of the year. The haiku is written from an observer's point of view.

They are based on the principles and form of haiku but can deviate from its structure. The scifaiku are succinct, 17 syllables or less in one to four lines. SciFaiku uses poetic devices and in present tense. Human insight comes from the idea that the purpose of much science fiction is to understand ourselves better through exploring possible futures or speculative realities.

Modern Haiku is a brief Japanese poem that epitomizes a single moment. The form is 17 syllables or LESS, in 1 to 4 lines as brief as possible. It doesn't have to follow the 5/7/5 pattern because Japanese and English syllables are not the same. It uses the juxtaposition of two concrete images, often a universal condition of nature and a particular aspect of human experience, in a way that prompts the reader to make an insightful connection between the two. The best haiku alludes to the season of the year. Poetic devices may be used.

ZEN philosophy teaches that our suffering arises from a sense of separation, from feeling alone and afraid. The practice of zen buddhism is a way of dissolving the feeling of separation by experiencing the unity of our own nature and the nature of everything around us. As haiku master Matsuo Bashe wrote, "Learn about the pine, from the pine, and about bamboo from the bamboo". The poet should write about the thing in nature as if the poet writes about himself or herself when the poet and the thing in nature becomes one".

Haiku dedicated to my children
HAIKU is a Japanese short unrhymed poem that uses imagistic language to express the essence of a deeply felt moment in time. It resonates on a deeper level, leaving the reader enlightened and making an insightful connection between the top two lines and the last one, called the SATORI. It originated in the thirteenth century and was mastered a century later by Matsuo Basho. HAIKU uses a dash to pause before the SATORI.. Haiku is about nature and it alludes to a season of the year. The haiku is written from an observer's point of view. In Japan, haiku is written in 17 syllables and three lines ( 5/7/5) but in English is 17 syllables OR LESS because English syllables are longer than Japanese syllables. Avoid capitalization (except proper names) and punctuation. Avoid metaphor and personification, you write about what you can SEE. === click here to read Haiku Society of America, HAIKU EXAMPLES === click here to read Haiku Society of America HAIKU RULES === click here to read why is 5/7/5 OR LESS rule === Modern Haiku Thank you very much for taking the time to read and review my poem.

Senryu is similar to Haiku but It's about human nature and it doesn't include a season word (kigo). It's written in three lines with 17 syllables or less. These poems use a pause usually marked by a dash before the satori (an insightful twist to ponder). Alliteration and metaphor are okay. Never rhymes. the em-dash ( -- ) is used to emphasize an interruption in speech before the satori. for more information click here collection of senryu ***** The Haiku Foundation of America Thank you very much for taking the time to read and review my poem.

of rose and jasmine

SENRYU is a Japanese poem with a title that deepens its meaning. Senryu is similar to Haiku but It's about human nature and it doesn't include a season word (kigo). It's written in three lines with 17 syllables or less. These poems use a pause usually marked by a dash before the satori (an insightful twist to ponder). Alliteration and metaphor are okay. Never rhymes. the em-dash ( -- ) is used to emphasize an interruption in speech before the satori.

It resonates on a deeper level, leaving the reader enlightened and making an insightful connection between the top two lines and the last one, called the SATORI.

In Japan, haiku is written in 17 syllables and three lines ( 5/7/5) but in English is 17 syllables OR LESS because English and Japanese syllables are different.
