This week, we explored HAIKU POETRY. Haiku is a very short form of Japanese poetry. It’s known for its simplicity and its focus on nature. A traditional haiku has three lines (The first line has 5 syllables, the second line has 7 syllables, and third line has 5 syllables). It aims to create a vivid image in the reader’s mind. Haiku often evokes a sense of peace, wonder, or reflection and it tries to capture a fleeting moment or a sudden insight. Think of it like a tiny snapshot in words, capturing a moment in time.
