This is also an example of 3 haikus in one single poem, describing three things. This one is by Basho Matuso, one of the earliest writers of the haiku. These were translated from Japanese. An old silent pond... A frog jumps into the pond, splash! Silence again. Autumn moonlight— a worm digs silently into the chestnut. Lightning flash— what I thought were faces are plumes of pampas grass. |

In this class, we have learnt what a haiku looks like. All you have to remember is that, it comes in lines of 5-7-5 syllables. In my subsequent classes, I'll make updates on the content of a haiku. |

The haiku is a favourite style of some writers. Personally, I know one, firestar. I nicknamed her 'The Lord Of Haikus'. Down there, is one her mesmerising pieces written in the haiku style. Watching the sunrise Irises of every hue Be it brown or blue |
