HAIKU
Today I attended a
Haiku workshop organized by Delhiwallah Collective Poetry Group .It was led by
Gina Gallyot, along with Rajeev Narang and sponsored by an online magazine” LitGleam”.
Gina explained the
basic rules of writing Haiku. It the Japanese art of writing tiny poems of 17
syllables!
It is simple poem of
three lines only.
The first line has
five syllables.
The second line seven
syllables.
The third has five
syllables.
It was such a
delightful experience reading these short and sweet poems, with punch!
Even in this wee
little poem there is a cutting point/word to how contrast or similarities, termed
as “Kirje”. The subject matter could be seasonal
reference to nature elements “Kigo”.
She shared some Haiku’s
from the great master Matsuo Basho.
She encouraged us to
write Haiku .I scribbled this one
“The cherry blossom
Lit up my being in
smiles
Made me so
happy!”
