WHAT IS POETRY?
Poetry uses words to express thoughts and feelings. It can be found in just about every culture on earth. It differs from prose in several ways. Poems:look different sound different often use figurative language
There are many different kinds of poetry. Today, we are going to look at just one. The Haiku.
![Page 9: Elit 11 ken weisner](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052504/54c0daee4a7959e3598b4587/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• It is a traditional form of Japanese poetry
• It describes nature, every day life, or the human condition
• It is based on personal reflection
• Its value is in sudden discovery or revelation

• A Haiku traditionally has three lines with seventeen syllables:• Five --Three• Seven --Five• Five --Three
• This form is strict in Japanese• Sometimes it varies in other languages or in
translation. This is true in English. You may use fewer syllables.
WRITING HAIKU: FORM
![Page 11: Elit 11 ken weisner](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052504/54c0daee4a7959e3598b4587/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• A haiku consists of two parts: The description and the reflection.
• Each part depends on the other for meaning.
• In Japanese Haiku, the break is marked by a “cutting word.” In English, the break is often marked by punctuation (e.g. colon, long dash, ellipsis)
• A haiku usually includes a kigo, a word that indicates a season. This does not have to be a traditional season like fall or winter. It could be baseball season or voting time; the reader just has to be able to determine when the event takes place.
