1. What’s Haiku poetry?
Haiku was born 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 felt emotions and has a rule which requires that a word that is identified with a particular season is used (Kigo).
