<h1>Rules for Writing Haiku</h1>
</header>
<p>
While some forms of poetry have free rein with regard to their subject or
number of lines and syllables, the haiku was established in Japan as far
back as the 9th century with a specific structure, style, and philosophy.
Many poets still write in the original 5-7-5 syllable pattern and follow
the traditional rules for writing haiku.
</p>
<h2>Style of Haiku Poetry</h2>
<p>
What is a haiku? It is a three-line, beautifully descriptive, form of
poetry, intended to be read in one breath. If read in Japanese, most
traditional haiku would have five syllables, or sounds, in the first line,
seven in the second, and five in the last. The Academy of American Poets
asserts, "As the form evolved, many of these rules - including the 5-7-5
practice - have routinely been broken. However, the philosophy of haiku
has been preserved: the focus on a brief moment in time; a use of
provocative, colorful images; an ability to be read in one breath; and a
sense of sudden enlightenment and illumination."
</p>
<h2>Traditional Haiku Structure</h2>
<p>
The structure of a traditional haiku is always the same, including the
following features:
</p>
<ol>
<li>There are only three lines, totaling 17 syllables.</li>
<li>The first line is 5 syllables.</li>
<li>The second line is 7 syllables.</li>
<li>The third line is 5 syllables like the first.</li>
<li>
Punctuation and capitalization are up to the poet, and need not follow
the rigid rules used in structuring sentences.
</li>
<li>
A haiku does not have to rhyme, in fact usually it does not rhyme at
all.
</li>
<li>It can include the repetition of words or sounds</li>
</ol>
<h2>Steps for Writing a Haiku</h2>
<p>
Even though there are specific rules for writing a traditional haiku, the
process can still be fun and rewarding. And remember that a modern haiku
can be more freeform.
</p>
<p>
If you are wondering how to write a haiku for the first time, consider the
following steps:
</p>
<ol>
<li>
Begin by reading examples of haiku - there are some below - to help you
get inspired about the subjects and construction of haiku. A haiku is a
beautiful form of poetry, so take time to appreciate it before you begin
writing it. You can find more examples of haiku poems on YourDictionary
or in your local library.
</li>
<li>
Create a list of possible subjects that you might write about,
considering various aspects of nature that inspire you. Consider
traditional subjects like animals, nature, and seasons, or something
completely different. Even the smallest details can make for great
haiku.
</li>
<li>
After you choose a subject, you may want to look at a few pictures of
it, or go outside and admire it. Like all of the great poets before you,
some of the greatest inspiration comes from simply admiring nature and
the world around them.
</li>
<li>
Make a list of words that relate to the subject you have chosen. Be as
descriptive as possible. Think about feelings andemotions too.
</li>
<li>
The last line is usually used to make an observation about your subject.
It can be fun to add a surprise here. Looking through the list you
wrote, can you create an unexpected relationship between the first two
lines and the third?
</li>
<li>
Decide if you want to write using the 5-7-5 rule or branch outside the
limits of this pattern. (If you have trouble determining the syllables
in a word because you are not sure how to pronounce it, you can look up
the word here on YourDictionary for a count of the syllables.)
</li>
</ol>
<h2>Examples of Traditional Haiku</h2>
<p>
The most famed traditional Japanese poets include Matsuo Basho, Yosa
Buson, Kobayashi Issa, and Masoaka Shiki. They are known as "the Great
Four" and their work is still the model for traditional haiku writing
today.
</p>
<blockquote>
An old silent pond, A frog jumps into the pond, splash! Silence again. On
a withered branch A crow has alighted: Nightfall in autumn. - Matsuo Basho
</blockquote>
<p>
The traditional form of haiku has also been embraced by English-speaking
poets. Here are two examples by Kelly Roper from our sister site
LoveToKnow.com, both with a focus on nature.
</p>
<blockquote>
The season gives way. Winter lays down her mantle, As spring bursts to
life Waiting in the marsh, The heron stands silently, Fish sense death is
near. - Kelly Roper
