How to write a Haiku
Distill a poignant experience. Haiku traditionally
focuses on details of one's environment that relate
to the human condition. Think of a haiku as a medi-
tation of sorts that conveys an objective image or
feeling without employing subjective judgment and
analysis.
?Japanese poets traditionally used haiku to capture
and distill a fleeting natural image, such as a frog
jumping into a pond, rain falling onto leaves, or a
flower bending in the wind.
?Contemporary haiku may stray from nature as a
subject. Urban environments, emotions, relation-
ships and even humorous topics may be haiku .
Include a seasonal reference. A reference to the
season or changing of the seasons, referred to in
Japanese as kigo, is an essential element of haiku.
The reference may be obvious, as in using a word
like "spring" or "autumn" to indicate the season, or
it might be subtler.
Create a subject shift. In keeping with the idea that
haiku should contain two juxtaposed ideas, shift the
perspective on your chosen subject so that your
poem has two parts. For example, you could focus
on the detail of an ant crawling on a log, then juxta-
pose that image with an expansive view of the whole
forest, or the season. the ant is currently inhabiting.
