A Mo Bro’s crowing
Alighted rooks lips tending
Shoo’d away; shaven!
– by J.H. Douglas
A haiku is a traditional Japanese poetry form characterized by three unrhymed lines with a specific syllable pattern: 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second line, and 5 in the third line. Typically, haikus capture a brief moment in time, often related to nature, and aim to evoke a subtle emotional or sensory impression.
Here’s a classic haiku by the famous Japanese poet Matsuo Bashō translated by Robert Hass:
Autumn moonlight—
a worm digs silently
into the chestnut.
a worm digs silently
into the chestnut.
