  1. Creative Writing Poetry

  2. Poetry • Haiku-A haiku poem has three lines, where the first and last lines have five moras, while the middle line has seven. The pattern in Japanese genre is 5-7-5. The mora is another name of a sound unit, which is like a syllable, but it is different from a syllable. As the moras cannot be translated into English, they are modified and syllables are used instead. The lines of such poems rarely rhyme with each other

  3. Haiku • 1. It contains three lines2. It has five moras (syllables) in the first line, seven in the second and five in the last line.3. It contains 17 syllables in total.4. A Haiku poem does not rhyme.5. Haiku poems frequently have a kigo or seasonal reference.6. Haiku poems are usually about nature or natural phenomenon.7. The poem has two juxtaposed subjects that are divided into two contrasting parts.8. In English, this division between two parts can be shown by a colon or dash.

  5. Haiku • Function-Haikus are short poems written on topics and things that the readers could identify with easily. For example, seasons and animals are readily recognizable topics to the readers. Generally, haiku is written for realistic and objective reasons; however, haikus are also written for children. Sometimes it presents two juxtaposed ideas to express meanings through internal comparison.

  6. Haiku • Brainstorm an for an idea. Use your creative license and the tools that we learned in the last unit. • What do you care about? • What inspires you? • What are your goals? • What is your purpose? • You could also say who in any of these questions.

  7. Haiku • Now write a haiku that has meaning for you. • Think of an idea that inspires you and think of a way to say it in a few words. • Being vague is fine.

  8. Haiku • Now we are going to add art to our Haikus. • I have some pencils, charcoal, or paint for this activity. • Create something beautiful. Push yourself to do things you may be scared to do.
