Haiku
Is a way of seeing the world.
Each haiku can capture a moment of an experience
An instant when the ordinary
Suddenly reveals its inner beauty.
Each poem is 3 lines
Line 1: 5 syllables
Line 2: 7 Syllables
Line 3: 5 Syllables
Try to follow these guidelines –
BUT it is better to write a haiku from your HEART
than it is to have a perfect 5-7-5
A human hand
Some hands caring for nature
Others destroying
