A haiku is a traditional Japanese poem of three lines with a set number of syllables: 5/7/5.
The poem should contain a seasonal reference: typical weather, description of representative stage of plant life or animal behavior, holiday, etc.
The poem contains a sense of contrast or tension between two elements.
The poem should capture a moment or a sense of the transient/passing sense of life.
Be sure your haiku is typed in MLA format: double-spacing, proper heading, header, specific title.
You may center the lines of your haiku or keep them left-justified. Please break typical MLA format and place an extra double-spaced return between your title and the poem to assure the reader sees the title and poem as separate.
