I love Haiku.
Haiku is a Japanese style of poetry which traditionally takes the form of 3 lines only.
Of these 3 lines, it is made up of five, seven, and five syllables, about 17 in total.
Often, the last word of a sentence is juxtaposed to the preceding line, which creates a kind of separation, in writing and imagery called kireji – it creates anticipation.
Haiku is an evocative way of expressing sentiment around season, nature and colour which is referred to as a kigo.
Haiku – a place to rest quietly within the delicate images it describes.
