HAIKU

 Hi everyone!

Today I am going to talk about a traditional Japanese poetry form called Haiku, which was named by Masaoka Shiki.Unlike the poetry we are accustomed to reading, Haiku has specific guidelines that must be followed.

These are short texts with a syllable pattern, consisting of three lines. The first and last lines typically contain 5 syllables, while the second line contains 7.

Haikus are usually accompanied by an image that illustrates the poem, as you can see in the picture.

These texts are written with the purpose of appreciating the small things in our lives: the song of a bird, the sky, the moon, a pet, an event—everything!

If you start writing Haikus, you will probably pay more attention to your senses (taste, sound, touch, smell, sight) and recognize how wonderful are the simple pleasures around you!

I wrote some haikus, here are some examples:

Trek a long distance

Cactus and a gorgeous view

Accompanyning friends.

Rich, colorful pigments

Brushes and water

Vibrant paintings created

The pictures were created with an AI, but you can draw it too!!

Well I hope you have learned something new! You should try it, can be entretaning! If you want, you can publish them in this link: https://padlet.com/doris3m/poetry-for-language-learning-p9hjlma0u27pt4s5 and read haikus of someone else!

See you!
