"The haiku originates from Japan.

How To Write Haiku

The haiku is a very simple form of writing. So think many poets exposed to this verse for the first time. The more perceptive of them soon realise that it can in reality be rather difficult. A casual glance at magazines or web pages will often show a wealth of examples, good, bad and indifferent. On asking further the poet usually gets told that haiku are traditionally written in three lines of 5-7-5 syllables. They may also be told that all haiku include a "season word" (kigo) to indicate the time of year to which the haiku relates. For a beginning this might do."

So, an example might be like this -

rain drops keep falling
rivers flow swiftly, seawards
to make us more rain

though "season" isn't mentioned.

Are the rules 'hard and fast' as regards form? Probably not anymore, but applying them does make haiku writing more of an inspiring challenge.

Are you so drunk or otherwise that you can't see that the last post from me explains it all.

Within the rules Phoenix. In my opinion it reads better when the lines are not split up. But beauty is in the eye of the poet.

There is a coo here
It has gone now it would seem
It must have shifted.

Genuine Hacoo.

Not an origional, more from the Dundee area than Dunnet, but a good adaption

We have been given
The task of keeping this thread
Pure 'til Kin returns.

[canuck]

Rob, my friend, just write
Three lines of lyrics with beats
That go five, seven, five.

On yonder hill there stands a coo
it must have moved
Its no there noo

[canuck]

How can the world end
With G2 writing such poems
The sun shines on us

I don't know about you
But thinking in five, seven,
five is challenging.

You got it, Plastic Drum Basher.

The drum has sounded
rob writes like the Haiku peeps
We give a huge cheer

The drum has sounded
rob writes like the Haiku peeps
We give a huge cheer

But are we not asked
To refer to the season
To obey the rules.

The night is so still
But sounds of distant drumming
Fill my heart with joy.

Oh lets have a proper go then:

It was in the night
The bad dream that came to me
Daylight removed it

Breakfast on the go
Lunch taken in my office
Dinner I can chew

[scotsboy]

Work is a burden
Study enlightens my time
Family is life
