HAIKU

HAIKU is a compressed form of poetry.
It is basically a comment upon a moment in time.
Probably the most common form is:
5-7-5
There is also:
4-4-4    3-3-3 even 2-2-2

What one should avoid in Haiku:

Articles......(the, this, an, etc)  -  since the form is extremely short                                                        Descriptions....best to avoid adjectives                                                                                                     Emotion......the Reader will pick up on emotion from your observations
do not give him 'your' emotion

The best Haiku are done by children because they are spontaneous, true and un-self conscious.
If you can reach this state....you might write Haiku as good as children.
