You might think this is a blog about writing Haiku. It’s not. While I may include one occasionally, this site is about learning to think as if you were writing Haiku. I won’t explore the beautiful history of Haiku (there are many wonderful books about that); I will simply say that MOST Haiku are poems with 17 or fewer syllables. Most are constructed by:
- First line of 5 syllables
- Second line of 7 syllables
- Third line of 5 syllables
The wonderful thing about Haiku (to me anyway) is the importance of mindfulness – being in the moment. It’s “thinking” with your senses…all of them.
Hope you enjoy!
