Hi, that’s my first post just to explain how I write haiku and the general rules you should stick to while creating Haiku poems.
It’s just a start up post, I will try to explain every step more thoroughly in latter posts, with examples of famous artists.
So, without further ado:
1. While writing haiku, always try to show a new point of view on a simple experience. Something that you don’t usually think about regarding this particular task/item/feeling.
2. Don’t worry about any other text you read about writing Haiku, especially if it was referring to traditional Japanese ways, rules on writing Haiku Poems are only a spine of the process, you create the body.
3. Haiku Poems refer to simple elements of life, daily rutine situations, the usual things in life.
4. In Haiku there’s always a reference to a certain season. It may be something on the lines of weather in a particular time of the year or even a kind of animal that you would expect to see.
5. Haiku poems should consist of 5 syllables in first line, 7 in second line and 5 again in last line.
6. Poems should be divided into two parts. Use a dash or colon or ellipsis to achieve it.
7. The last and most important step: Enjoy writing Haiku Poems! Even if you can’t follow all of these steps and your Haiku poems don’t exactly fit in the strict category – the art of Haiku is for everyone to enjoy, not to spend hours polishing a phrase so it’s perfect from every angle!
