It all started with the April Challenge hosted by LEO as a part of the HAIKU HEIGHTS. I started off and got so addicted to this form, that since then i've not looked back. Presently i write Haiku for the prompts provided by the Haiku Heights, the OSI, the MAG and the SHW.
What is a Haiku ?
- Haiku is Japanese poetry form that has three meaningful lines which are complete and reflecting nature.
- Haiku have syllabic limitations as well. Syllables and words aren't the same thing. For e.g. the single word "traditional" would have four syllables since it's pronounced "tra-di-tio-nal".
- A traditional haiku has eleven or seventeen syllables, in a strict 3-5-3 or 5-7-5 format.
