Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry. It is usually composed of three lines. The first line has 5 syllables, the second 7 and the third 5. Haiku is a brief and imaginative look at a particular subject. The writer tries to capture just a single moment, using only just a few words. Haiku is believed to have begun sometime in the 17th century. The short format meant that writers must choose their words carefully. Writers of traditional Haiku often use natural themes or images and their finished work often has a wistfulness or sense of yearning in the tone.<\/p>\n
Since this poetry form was brought into the English language, from a form that was written in characters, English writers became more flexible about the syllable and line counts. These writers were more focused on the content of the haiku. They worked to make sure that their poetry was brief, yet still carried the attitude of traditional haiku. Today haiku continues to be a popular art form for many writers, both amateur and professional.<\/p>\n
Because of the delicate nature of haiku it lends itself to expression about mothers. Writers of haiku have captured the essence of mother love in the many things that they do for those they care about. The poems exhibit a singular view of how mothers can reach out and touch us in unique ways. Mothers will be touched by the beauty and simplicity of these poems, while you can find one that expresses your innermost feeling. The poignancy of the poems is clearly touching and you may find it difficult to choose just one to give your mother. If after reading these haikus you still can\u2019t find one that says what you want to say, just do what writers have done through the ages, give haiku writing a try.<\/p>\n
