How to Write a Haiku

It is easy to learn to write a haiku, but it can take a lot of practice to learn how to do it well. This lesson will give you the basics for writing your own haiku. It's up to you to practice by writing a lot of them so you will get very good at it.

What is a Haiku?

A haiku is an unrhymed three-line poem. It is based on a traditional Japanese poetic form. Though there are different ways to write haiku, the traditional pattern in English is to write the first and last lines with five syllables each, and the middle line with seven syllables. In other words, the pattern of syllables looks like this:

Line 1: 5 syllables
Line 2: 7 syllables
Line 3: 5 syllables

Here's another way to visualize the same thing:

1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
1 2 3 4 5

Most often, haiku poems are about seasons or nature, though you can write your own haiku about anything you like. If you don't want to write about nature, and would prefer to write haiku about candy or sports, that is perfectly okay.

One more thing to keep in mind is that the last line of a haiku usually makes an observation. That is, the third line points out something about the subject you are writing about.

Let's see how we can put these few rules together get your started writing your own haiku poems.

Haiku About Seasons

Let's say that you decide to write your haiku about a season. First you will want to select a season: spring, summer, fall, or winter. I've decided to write a haiku about winter, and I know that in the last line I will want to make an observation. I want to say that winter is almost here, but we aren't quite ready for the snow. Maybe it's that we haven't raked the leaves off the front lawn and we need to do it soon before it snows.

I want to say all of this, but I want to do it in a pattern of 5, 7, 5. So I might say something like this:

Winter is coming.
Snow will be arriving soon.
We should rake the leaves.

If you count the syllables on your fingers as you read this poem, you will see that the lines have five syllables, seven syllables, and five syllables, just as they should.

Haiku About Nature

If you decide to write a haiku about nature, you will have many more subjects to choose from. You could write about animals, plants, the sky, the ocean, streams, the wind, and so on. Start by selecting a topic, and then decide what you want to say; what observation you want to make about it.

For example, I have decided to write a haiku about my cat. One thing I notice about my cat is that he sleeps a lot. In fact, I'm pretty sure he sleeps almost all night and all day. I'm not sure how he can be so tired. In any case, here is my haiku:

Tired cat sleeps all night.
He needs lots of rest for a
Long day of napping.

Funny Haiku

Just because most haiku poems are about seasons or nature doesn't mean that's all they can be about. If you want, you can even write funny haiku poems. One way to make a haiku funny is to have an unexpected last line. For example, if the last line says the opposite of what the reader expects, it becomes like the punchline of a joke. It also helps to write about a funny subject.

As an example, I decided it would be funny to write a haiku excuse for why I can't turn in my homework. Here it is:

My homework is late.
My dog ate it this morning.
I sure like my dog.

Notice that this ending is unexpected. Most readers would expect the poem to end with something like "can I turn it in tomorrow?" or "I'm mad at dog" or something like that. By saying "I sure like my dog," I am telling the reader something they don't expect, which will hopefully make them smile.

Getting Started Writing Haiku

To begin writing haiku poems, just follow these steps:

1. Select a type of haiku. Decide if you are going to write a seasonal, nature, or other type of haiku.

2. Pick a topic. Select one specific season, item in nature, or something else you are going to write about.

3. Think about what is different about your last line. What observation do you want to make?

4. Start writing.

5. Don't forget to count the syllables as you read to make sure you've got the right pattern.

6. Finally, "center" your poem on the page like the poems in this lesson.

When you are all done writing your first haiku, see if you can write another one. And, most importantly, have fun!

Rhythm in Poetry - The Basics

When you read rhyming poetry, one of the things you might notice is how the words often have a nice rhythmical quality. That is, there is a pattern to the rhythm of the words that makes them fun to say and easy to remember. Sometimes the rhythm is a simple one, and sometimes it's more complex, but it's not there by accident. Poets arrange their words in such a way as to create those rhythmical patterns.

When rhyming poems also have a rhythm in the words, they are much more fun to read. By contrast, rhyming poems that do not have a rhythm are usually not as enjoyable to read.

Over the next several lessons, I'm going to show you how to identify the rhythms in poems and how to write rhythmical poems of your own so that others will enjoy reading them.

Poetic Forms

A poetic "form" is a set of rules for writing a certain type of poem. These rules can include the number of lines or syllables the poem should have, the placement of rhymes, and so on. Here are lessons for writing several common poetic forms.

Other Poetic Styles

There are many different styles of poems. These are not "poetic forms" because they don't usually have firm rules about length, syllable counts, etc., but they are common enough that many well-known children's poets have written poems like these.

How to Write a Japanese Tanka Poem

Tanka , which means "short song," has been an important literary form in Japanese culture for nearly a thousand years. The original Japanese form of tanka had only one line of poetry containing 31 speech sounds-what we would call syllables . However, most tanka poems that are written in English today are broken into five poetic lines with a certain number of syllables in each line.

The basic structure of a tanka poem is 5 - 7 - 5 - 7 - 7. In other words, there are 5 syllables in line 1, 7 syllables in line 2, 5 syllables in line 3, and 7 syllables in lines 4 and 5. If you have ever written a haiku , you will notice that tanka is kind of like a longer version of haiku that gives you a little more room to tell a story. Here is one example of a tanka poem:

Three Poetry Activities to Celebrate Martin Luther King Day

Martin Luther King, Jr. was an incredible orator, harnessing the power of words rather than weapons as he lead this country on its road to civil liberty. In fact, many of his speeches have the power of poetry, using some of the same conventions writers use when composing poems: alliteration, personification, simile, repetition, metaphor, and even rhyme. So, what better way to celebrate Martin Luther King Day than with words?

Here are some examples of poetry based activities you can do to commemorate Martin Luther King, Jr. on the third Monday of each January... or any time you feel so inspired!

Starting a Poetry Journal

A journal is a place to express yourself, to record your thoughts, feelings and observations, and to cultivate your poetic style. The cool thing about your journal is that it's yours. You can keep it secret or share it with your friends and family. You might even read some of your poetry out loud at a talent show or poetry jam. Whatever you decide to do with it, a daily poetry journal will keep you writing. And the more you write, the better writer you become!

Step One: Choose a journal that fits your style

Do you like to draw pictures and doodle around your poetry? If so, you might want a book with blank pages. Do you need help keeping your words in order? Then try a journal with lines, such as a spiral-bound notebook. If you write all day long whenever inspiration strikes, use a smaller book with a hard cover that you can tuck into your backpack, purse, or pocket.

Step Two: Organize your journal

While this is an important step, it will be different for everyone. You can divide your journal in several different ways:

Emotions: Joy, Anger, Sorrow, Humility, Pride

Seasons: Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall (add the different holidays within each season.)

Chronological: Just write the date at the top of the page.

Poetic Form: Acrostic, Cinquain, Clerihew, Diamante, Haiku, Limerick, Free Verse, etc.

Subject: Sports, Humor, Dance, Friends, Nature, School

Once you've decided how to organize your journal, use a paper clip, divider, sticky note, or colored tape to divide your sections. (You do not need to do this for a chronological journal.)

Step Three: Write!

Jot down interesting words, phrases, sentences, or feelings on the page before starting your poem. This provides a jumping-off point for your thoughts.

For example, today I heard someone say, "I can't be late for the bus!" So, I wrote that sentence on the top of a page in my "School" section.

Next, write down words that have to do with your phrase. For mine, I chose: Run, shout, nervous, hurry, stop, fast, heartbeat, homework, driver, windows, ice, puddles, clock, time, and wheels.

Then, decide what type of poem you want to write. For this one, I selected free verse.

Finally, use some of the words on your page to write your poem.

Bus Stop
My heart beats
so fast.

The puddles are lakes,
my homework... wet.

The clock ticks
faster than my feet
can run.

I shout to the driver,
"Stop!"

Wheels slow.
Take a breath.

I can't be late for the bus.

Step Four: Keep it up!

It's important to write in your journal on a regular basis. Finding a routine can help with that. Maybe you have quiet time at night before bed, when you're riding on the bus, or at lunch break. Make it a part of your day, and soon you'll have an entire journal full of incredible poetry!
