How to Write a Haiku Poem

Haiku is a way to express your feelings or interest. It’s a Japanese tradition, usually symbolizing a part in nature to express how they feel. It has soon evolved into different meanings around the world. People make it be about anything they want, about important matters or not, though it is still traditional in Japan. Haiku Poems have only three lines. Here is how to write a Haiku Poem:

Warning

Writing a Haiku may result in emotional disorder.

1. The first step on how to get you poem up and running is- Pick a topic that may interest you for this first step. This topic shall not be too complicated to understand.
2. Delicately choose appropriate words to use. Make a very long, but short summery about this so called “topic”, using words that fit this topic.
3. For a Haiku, the first line should only have 5 syllables. If anymore, it will not be a proper poem, in which there has to be some precise writing.  Example-Dreams can come true now, 5 syllables.
4. The second line has 7 syllables, in which, for a Haiku, has to have perfect result in different wording structures. Example- Wherever the wind blows through, 7 syllables
5. The third and final line has exactly 5 syllables. Much like the first line, but this line finishes off this poem. Make sure this last line in perfect and has no flaws.  Example- To make us believe. 5 syllables
6. The completed Haiku must have 17 syllables in total, or thus this poem is a failure to those who can’t even write three simple lines.
7. Finally, for those who can write this Haiku, add a title to this splendid master piece we call haiku!

Important

Don’t over write or your brain will be locked in a Haiku language.
