Japanese Haiku combines form, content, and language in a meaningful, yet compact form.
This workshop we will concentrate on the most common form which uses three short lines.
The first line should contains five (5) syllables,
the second line seven (7) syllables,
the third line contains five (5) syllables.
Traditional themes include nature, feelings, or experiences.
Simple words and grammar are usually employed.
Haiku doesn't usually rhyme..
A Haiku must "paint" a mental image in the reader's mind.
The goal is to capture a thought, or describe a feeling, or detail a moment- in time.
This is the challenge of Haiku - to convey the imagery or idea
in ONLY 17 syllables within three (3) lines of poetry!
Please keep topics in line with the theme- of "Spring"
