Haiku Poetry

Haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry that consists of three lines with a syllable pattern of 5-7-5. This means the first line has five syllables, the second seven, and the third five. Haikus often focus on nature or seasonal themes, capturing a moment or feeling in a brief and evocative way. The form encourages simplicity and depth, using imagery and sensory language to convey emotions and insights. While rooted in Japanese culture, haikus are now written in many languages worldwide, celebrated for their beauty and brevity.
