What is a haiku?

A haiku is a traditional Japanese poetic form. It is considered the shortest poetic form in the world and captivates with its concise and simple imagery. Typical characteristics of a haiku include:

Consists of three lines

Only 17 syllables in total, divided into 5-7-5 syllables per line.

It captures a moment, an observation of nature, or a flash of inspiration.

Haikus don't usually rhyme.

Their often figurative language invites empathy and reflection.

On the HAIKU trail, hikers usually encounter these lyrical texts in connection with nature motifs, such as this HAIKU, which is about the formation of a moor:

PLANTS ADVANCE: MORE BAAZ
