Haiku Lessons

There is now a great difference in the concept of traditional Japanese haiku and haiku written in other languages, especially in the so-called ELH (English language haiku).

This might be confusing for a beginner.
Here I try to concentrate on the "parent",
the traditional Japanese haiku.


My advise for beginners :

keep the three lines : short long short
use one season word (kigo)
use one cut marker (kireji)

Write about a personal experience,
not a philosophical thought or idea.
Try to pay attention to the small things in life with all their details,
the seasonal changes of your daily human life.
Every moment of your life counts!
Be Here and Now !
