What is a haiku?
Originating many centuries ago in Japan, the haiku is is a time-honored form of poetry. It is seventeen syllables long, arranged across three lines. The syllable pattern is 5 (first line), 7 (second line), 5 (third line).
Components of the natural world, such as seasons, elements, and living things are often central themes to the haiku. Additionally, a traditional haiku exudes an air of mystery, leaving some interpretation open to the reader. For this reason, no title is given to a haiku poem.

Moon-soaked petals are
nodding and swaying below;
scent links time apart.
