Author Notes
This week in the Haiku Club we are learning the difference between 5/7/5 poems and haiku. 5/7/5 poems have only ONE rule, the syllables count. While Haiku have many rules. Some 5/7/5 poems may look haikuish and that is okay, as long as you know that other than the syllable count in 3 lines is the only requirement. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'm happy to help.
-- 5/7/5 POEM RULES: they have 17 syllables divided in 3 lines: 5/7/5 form, no other rules apply
-- 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
