Just simple way of showing how to make haiku

1. Poetry: Creating Pictures through Words The British-American poet W.H. Auden once said that one cannot be a poet if one's reason for writing poetry is "I have important things I want to say." But if one's reason is "I like hanging around words and listening to what they say," then Auden believed, that person could indeed be a poet.

2. Of all the literary genres, poetry is notable for using a few words to convey a lot. In a few lines, the vastness of the world becomes poem small, and the small becomes vast. Does this sound magical-this ability of the to turn big something that is small , or a small into something big? This may have some- thing to do with the origin of the word poet, from the Latin poeta , and the Greek poetes , meaning "maker, creator, or composer. " In ancient Greek, poetry was called poieo or "I create."

3. You might say that a poet creates a world by assembling words. The principle 'less is more' comes into full view in a poem. Haiku, an ancient Japanese form of poetry, is remarkable for using only three lines with seventeen syllables. Hang around "The Old Pond," a well-known haiku by Bashō Matsuo, a famous poet of 15th-century Japan: An old silent pond... A frog jumps into the pond, Splash! Silence again.

4. NOTE Haiku is a form of short poetry that originated in Japan in the 9th century. It follows the 5-7-5 pattern. The first line contains 5 syllables, the second line with 7 syllables and the third line with 5 syllables.

5. The poem is an unfolding present moment of a frog jumping (a frog jumps) yet it also conveys something old (the silent pond). In the last line, Bashō puts silence and the loud- ness of splash! together.

6. The use of contrast or of putting dissimilar elements together is a notable feature of haikus. In "The Old Pond," these contrasting elements are silence and loudness, present and past.

7. Haiku are known for revealing the vastness of nature in an intimate and microscopic manner. "The Old Pond" is a snapshot of a particular moment in one small portion of the environment. Frogs are usually imagined as singing Bashō , however, hung around with this convention, and decided to write about frog leaping into the water.

8. Writing haikus is a good exercise in putting thoughts together in the shortest and clearest manner. Here's another example: 5-The end of the day 7-The start of a dazzling night 5-For the moon and stars

9. In writing haiku, you can use details that can be seen or grasped by the five senses ( sight, hearing, touch, smell, or taste ). Write the lines even if they don't fit the 5-7-5 pattern . You can cut or add syllables later to fit. Choose words that are dissimilar.

10. In writing the third line, surprise the readers by making it entirely different from the first two lines. Rewrite your haiku in the 5-7-5 pattern. Review the three lines and see if the 'surprise factor' is there. Rewrite according to the 5-7-5 pattern. Now make a complete haiku consisting of three lines with 17 syllables in total for each of the following parts of nature.
