Haiku literature

Haiku is a traditional Japanese form of poetry that captures a moment or sensation in a concise, three-line structure. Typically, a haiku consists of 17 syllables arranged in a 5-7-5 pattern. It often focuses on nature, seasons, or everyday life, emphasizing simplicity and clarity. The goal is to evoke a sense of insight or emotion with minimal words, encouraging reflection. Haikus highlight subtle beauty and transient moments, making them a powerful yet accessible form of poetic expression rooted in mindfulness and appreciation of the present.
