Decide what kind of haiku you would like to write. You can choose to follow the 5-7-5 syllable style, or decide you want to be more experimental with your structure and adjust the number of syllables. If you are writing an English haiku, you’ll separate your poem into three lines. Determine your subject matter. Pay attention to small details around you. Nature themes are most common in haiku, so start to notice things like birds or leaves outside, the way the air feels, or even a smell in the air. Many haiku are about very simple natural elements of day-to-day life.
Use short phrases that evoke strong images. Think of how Japanese poets use kigo, and choose images that symbolize a season (say, fallen leaves for fall or daffodils for spring) to set a mood with very few words.
Use a kireji or “cutting word” to create a break in the meter. Remember to use punctuation in conjunction with a kireji to control the rhythm of the poem.
Here are some examples of Haiku.
“A World of Dew” by Kobayashi Issa
A world of dew,
And within every dewdrop
A world of struggle.
“The Taste of Rain” by Jack Kerouac
The taste
Of rain
—Why kneel?
Sonia Sanchez “Haiku [for you]”
love between us is
speech and breath. loving you is
a long river running.
Ravi Shankar “Lines on a Skull”
life’s little, our heads sad.
Redeemed and wasting clay
this chance. Be of use.
Write a haiku about one of the following:
springtime
love
health
your first

Helen grey by christina georgina rossetti because one loves you, helen grey, is that a reason you should pout, and like a march wind veer about, and frown, and say your shrewish say? don't strain the cord until it snaps, don't split the sound heart with your wedge, don't cut your fingers with the edge of your keen wit; you may, perhaps. because you're handsome, helen grey, is that a reason to be proud? ✔ your eyes are bold, your laugh is loud, your steps go mincing on their way; but so you miss that modest charm which is the surest charm of all: take heed, you yet may trip and fall, and no man care to stretch his arm. stoop from your cold height, helen grey, come down, and take a lowlier place; come down, to fill it now with grace; come down you must perforce some day: for years cannot be kept at bay, and fading years will make you old; then in their turn will men seem cold, when you yourself are nipped and grey. how does the line in bold suggest a key idea developed in the poem? a) it compares real qualities with superficial ones. b) it confirms that helen is attractive. c) it implies beauty is nothing to celebrate. d) it suggests pride should be based on other things.
