  2. Definition : a Japanese poem of seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five, traditionally evoking images of the natural world.

    Example Poem : Age is no crime. But the shame of deliberately wasted life Among so many deliberately wasted lives is.

    Haiki are good because they are a ways to express emotion.

  3. •A division somewhere in the poem, which focuses first on one thing, than on another. The relationship between these two parts is sometimes surprising

    1. Haiku is a Japanese poetry form. A haiku uses just a few words to capture a moment and create a picture in the reader's mind. It is like a tiny window into a scene much larger than itself.

      Traditionally, haiku is written in three lines, with five syllables in the first line, seven syllables in the second line, and five syllables in the third line. Joe h.

  9. a Japanese poem of seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five, traditionally evoking images of the natural world
    A verse form consisting of three lines: five, seven, and five syllables in length. Traditionally, each poem also contains an image or reference associated with one of the seasons in the year. Originally conceived as a form of amusement verse, the haikai utilized colloquialisms and words derived from Chinese, terms expressly forbidden in the more formal, high form of verse called waka. Only in the early 16th cent. did haikai come to be viewed as a legitimate poetic genre in its own right
