A Cache of Haiku

Poetry

A Cache of Haiku

Haiku is a form of Japanese art or verse with three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables. Haiku is sometimes referred to as poetry and the subject matter is usually one of nature or one of the seasons. However many authors have used many other subjects.

I challenge each one of you to try writing some Haiku yourself. It’s fun and educational as well. Open up a new world to you and your children. You will be surprised at the results of your writings. I hope you enjoy the fascinating world of Haiku in the following pages. Revitalize your senses and dream on.

I have broken down my book into the following sections:

Spring - Summer - Fall - Winter - Christmas - Japan - China - General
