Concept Notes:
The Haiku
Haiku is both a type of poetic pattern and a way of experiencing the world. This short, 17-syllable form,
usually written in three lines with a 5-7-5 syllable count, focuses our attention on a single, insightful moment.
A haiku traditionally contains a kigo, a defined word or phrase that symbolizes or implies the season of
the poem. Kigo are often in the form of metonyms and hence can be difficult for those who lack Japanese cultural
references to spot.
Lines from the Haiku allow the readers to create mental images. These images allow the readers to
visualize and therein more realistically experience the author’s writing.
Matsuo Basho, Japan’s greatest haiku poet believed that real poetry was leading a beautiful life with
nature. Below are some of his famous haiku.
Won't you come and see None is travelling
my loneliness? Just one leaf Here along this way, but I
from the kiri tree. This autumn evening.
