Today I started the journey into the world of Haiku. What do i know about it till today? Haiku is an ancient way of japanese-writing poem. It should be the shortest poem ever invented with 17 syllables in 5-7-5 style/stanza. Original and traditional Haikus, if i'm allowed to mention the plural in such a way, have themes that were related to nature like changing of seasons. One of the many famous traditional poets is Iio Sogi. Modern Haikus are more related to modern lifestyle of course and do not have that same uumph as original haiku.
Also, i'm please of learning haiku in their original japanese writing, as i am taking japanese beginner's course in Imperial College.
So, anybody out there from the world of Haiku? make yourself visible to the world because i need your support and encouragement and knowledge to be able to swim in the ocean of haiku.
Heh, I never did understand how to write Haiku :P
