Places
Haiku
i wander with clouds
for a place i haven’t been to
is missing from me
Haiku Poet Lubna Yusuf
Traditionally in Japan where the Haiku originates, a three-line format with 17 syllables arranged in a 5–7–5 pattern or about 10 to 14 syllables,which more nearly approximates the duration of a Japanese haiku with the second line usually the longest. Some poets want their haiku to be expressed in one breath.
A haiku is traditionally a Japanese poem consisting of three short lines that do not rhyme. The origins of haiku poems can be traced back as far as the 9th century.
A haiku is considered to be more than a type of poem; it is a way of looking at the physical world and seeing something deeper, like the very nature of existence. It should leave the reader with a strong feeling or impression.
