Haiku Poetry
Haiku is also called nature or seasonal haiku.
Haiku is usually written in the
present tense and focuses on nature
(seasons).
Haiku PoetryDefinition 1
An unrhymed Japanese verse consisting of three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables (5, 7,
5) or 17 syllables in all.
The 5/7/5 rule was made up for school children to understand and learn this
type of poetry.
Haiku PoetryDefinition 2
Made of three lines of poetry, 17 syllables or LESS.

Haiku PoetryHelpful Hints
Haiku is generally not written in one long run on sentence. It is generally
written in two parts.
You have a fragment on the first or the last line, then you have the body
of the haiku.
