Haiku by Megan Ueligger

Janus Editors

A haiku in poetry may be a short poem, but it can capture the most important aspects of writing. This includes imagery, emotion, and it can also be correlated with songs in music. In English, a haiku is a little poem that you write in three lines. The first and third lines consist of five syllables, and the middle line adds up to seven. Although the haiku is known for this consistency, poems with this structure can allow enough space for the reader to think, and they can fill in the spaces that the haiku poem leaves up to the imagination. You can add so much to these poems, and make every word count within the structure. Haikus can be used to create nursery rhymes, and fun, sentimental songs that the reader can chant in their head, making them understand the poem in a unique way. For people who aren’t the most enthusiastic about reading, they can resort to haikus for their simplistic nature. Haikus are great for the writers to give out their message in a way that is strategic. This is so writers can gather the most important information within their topic of what they want the world to see, and critique it in a way that makes their message have meaning. Haikus can also be looked at as mini quotes you would see people post or repost on social media sites such as Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr. Haikus that demonstrate the same essence of meaningful quotes that are on pages that you follow, can draw in the generation today. As for the examples below, they both embrace the meaning of nature and the way the writers value it. The haiku does not have to be just about nature, but it can be of anything you can imagine, as long as you become open to your own thoughts.
