Modern Haiku Poetry - What It is and How to Write It
Posted by John on Friday, October 06, 2006 (10:00:00)
The venerable haiku poem has been around for hundreds of years. Traditionally composed in Japan using a 5-7-5 arrangement of syllables, western poets have loosened this form to create what is now considered modern haiku poetry.
The modern version still sounds somewhat similar to the original but it does not adhere to making the syllables come out to 5-7-5. This is a good thing! It frees the poet up to explore what is truly important in haiku writing and that is its spirit!

Learn Haiku the Easy Way!
Posted by John on Friday, September 29, 2006 (10:00:00)
So, you want to learn haiku. It's no surprise. Many people are attracted to this elegant and economical poetry form. In just a few words, an entire scene is captured.
To learn haiku, you need to forget about what you've heard regarding writing it. The notorious 5-7-5-syllable rule no longer applies to modern haiku poetry. This is a good thing for it frees you up to focus on expressing yourself without worrying if your syllables fit a predefined pattern.

Haiku Lessons - It's All About Imagery!
Posted by John on Tuesday, August 08, 2006 (12:48:47)
By Edward A. Weiss
A picture is worth a thousand words. And in haiku, an image allows the reader to use imagination to "see" with. Haiku lessons should help you understand this. For example, take this haiku poem by Bruce Ross:
sunset --
a cormorant glides
inches above the water
