A haiku is a traditional Japanese poem made up of three short lines that don’t rhyme, and is made up of 17 syllables (5/7/5).
Even though they are tiny, the best haikus take a deep look at subjects like life, death, and the beauty of nature, and leave you with a strong emotional feeling or impression.
Haikus often mix a big, broad context with the observation of a detail. This can be in any order.
