Haiku are 3 lines of usually unrhymed words containing 17 syllables. The syllable pattern is: 5 on first line, 7 in second line, 5 in the last line.
Traditionally, these short poems focus on nature, but themes and humor are fine too.
Don’t worry about perfection. What’s important is what’s happening in your brain and in your spirit. Add to your enjoyment by including kids in your outing or hiking with a friend then exchanging haiku. Include haiku in cards or messages you send. Save your haiku. A collection of a loved one’s poems is a unique, priceless treasure.
