Author Notes
HAIKU is a Japanese short unrhymed poem that uses imagistic language to express the essence of a deeply felt moment. It resonates on a deeper level, enlightening the reader and making an insightful connection. Most haiku in English consist of three unrhymed lines of seventeen or fewer syllables, though today's poets use a variety of line lengths and arrangements.
Traditional Japanese haiku include a season word (kigo) that helps identify the season, and a break (kireji), usually a dash, that marks a pause. Haiku focus on experience captured in clear images. The most common technique is juxtaposing two images or ideas.
