HAIKU
Haiku have been an important part of Japanese
culture since the Edo period. Japanese people have
been writing haiku for centuries.
Haiku are different from traditional English
ages of
poems. First, they are not written in sentences. They,
use only a few words. Second, the lines do not have to
rhyme. Third, a seasonal word must be included.
On the other hand, like most English poems,
rhythm is very important. Haiku use three lines
five, seven, and five syllables long.
