Haiku Rules:
An unrhymed Japanese poem recording the essence of a moment. Nature is combined with human nature. It usually consists of three lines of 5/7/5 (5 kana in the first line, 7 kana in the second line, and 5 kana in the third line) totaling seventeen kana.
A foreign adaptation of 1, usually written in three lines totaling 17 syllables or LESS.
Haiku is not written in the past, nor does it cover a long period of time.
Haiku usually contains a season word (called kigo). It is not a requirement, but season words are a big part of haiku.
Personal note: while I ain’t a pro at Haiku, I find some Haiku’s written devoid of anything to do with seasons or nature. While it may be completely a poet’s liberty and rightly so I personally find Haiku’s with a comparison of nature and human nature beautiful.
Beautiful Haiku showcasing nature. M soo bad at Haiku much to my chagrin.
Welcome to my site Vishal and thank you for liking it 🙂 Have you tried a Haiku before?
Hi Dear, I’m really happy to see this post here. Don’t wait….. Open the door…. There are many lovelorn peoples waiting for the knock 😛 🙂
Well, regarding Haiku or English language itself, I don’t understand this syllable or kana thing.
Anyway, Wonderful lines… Truly loved it 🙂
Thank you Ravish, am happy it made you happy for me! I use the chin method to count the syllable (hold your hand a little away from your chin and say the lines every time your chin touches your hand is a syllable 🙂 ) Bottom line you liked it is what matters to the poet 🙂
Beautiful Haiku ! Loved it 🙂
Thank you Renu 🙂

Thank you Dee really happy you liked it.
A lovely piece! But could I pick your head for a moment, please? As per what my understanding of syllable is, doesn’t this have 6 syllables in the first line, 9 in the second and 8 in the third? An online syllable-counter I googled up also seems to correspond with that. Would love to hear back from you, to clear my confusion. 🙂 And I didn’t know of the chin method of counting, though – thanks for that! 🙂
Thank you, I was not aware of the syllable count by Google, used the hand chin method. Well thank you for your suggestions, I have made the corrections now 🙂 It now fits a perfect Haiku 🙂 Thanks once again.

Nice one Shweta…great analogy to happiness. Haiku can be written in several ways..you can read works of great masters like Basho, Busan, Ikkyu or Siki…they are wonderful 🙂
Thank you, an appreciation on Haiku coming from you is truly a compliment Mani aka Haiku Queen 🙂
