Haiku (continued)

The “Haiku moment” is a specific event or observation that brought an “ah” from deep within you.

Zen, often associated with haiku, is a discipline of harmonizing the body with the mind.

Being one with nature does not mean being sentimental; it sees the world as it is: beautiful and harsh, elegant and savage.

Haiku (continued) Traditional Haiku must refer to the time of year:

mentioned by name or simply implied. Haiku is exact: don’t write how it affected you,

write exactly what took place. Haiku is a moment captured while in solitude Haiku often has a “twist” in the experience; the

unexpected has occurred and is celebrated. Haiku does not use complete sentences; each line

is a complete thought, but is open ended so the reader can continue the experience

Haiku lines have little, if any, punctuation Always written in present tense
