What’s Haiku poetry?
Haiku developed in Japan and is the world’s shortest form of poetry. A traditional Japanese Haiku is expressed in 17-syllables (5-7-5) and some poets write more or less. Haiku uses simple expressions in a way that allows emotions to be felt and has a rule which requires the use of a word that is identified with a particular season (Kigo).
Today, the popularity of Haiku has spread across the world. You can take a look at “How to Make Haiku” (JAL Foundation) via this link: http://www.jal-foundation.or.jp/002sekai/howto/panf_english.pdf
