Basho Matsuo
Here are three examples of the haiku of Basho Matsuo, the first great poet of haiku in the 1600s:
An old silent pond...
A frog jumps into the pond,
splash! Silence again.
Autumn moonlight—
a worm digs silently
into the chestnut.
Lightning flash—
what I thought were faces
are plumes of pampas grass.

moon in the cold -
only my own footsteps
on the bridge.
A firefly flitted by:
"Look!" I almost said

ReplyDeleteA haiku poem consists of three lines, with the first and last line having 5 moras, and the middle line having 7. A mora is a sound unit, much like a syllable, but is not identical to it. Since the moras do not translate well into English, it has been adapted and syllables are used as moras.

ReplyDeleteJ.R A haiku is a poem has three lines, where the first and last lines have five moras, while the middle line has seven, i heard the pattern is 5-7-5. it used to be popular during the 9th to 12 centuries in the japan called tanka in the 9th century. haiku is also another name as hokku and set the mood for rest of verse. haiku is more then a type of poem, it is a way of looking at the physical world and seeing something deeper.
