A haiku is always untitled. Juxtapositioning of images, typically oppositional ones, is usual, as is the depiction of a moment in time (an <em>aha! <\/em>moment).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This latter aspect was driven home to me recently when a friend told me an interesting anecdote: A member of her haiku group<\/span> arrived by car with a spider carrying eggs about to be expelled. The driver cried out: &#8216;Help! A haiku moment!&#8217; She took the creature carefully outside into the garden. The others watched as the spider gave birth to hundreds of little ones. This was the topic for the poets to write about, using, of course, haiku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When I googled &#8220;Haiku&#8221; and &#8220;How to Write A Haiku&#8221;, I found surprisingly good summaries under Wiki.

In Japanese the haiku is composed of 17 sound units divided into 3 parts\u2014one with 5 units, one with 7 units and another with 5 units. Since sound units are much shorter than English syllables, it has been found that, following the Japanese example results in a much longer English language poem.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The haiku in English has been written for about seventy years and the form is still evolving. It often contains around 8-12 syllables. The trend has been to shorten the number of syllables in each line, and to represent the &#8216;cut&#8217; by way of linking two of the lines, either the first two or the last two.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a class=\"zem_slink\" style=\"color: #000000;\" title=\"Basho: The Complete Haiku\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Basho-Complete-Haiku-Matsuo\/dp\/4770030630%3FSubscriptionId%3D0G81C5DAZ03ZR9WH9X82%26tag%3Dzem-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D4770030630\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"amazon noopener noreferrer\">Basho<\/a> (1644-1694), considered by many to be the master of haiku in Japan, wrote: &#8220;Haiku are a way of seeing, hearing and feeling, a special state of consciousness&#8230; Learn from the pine about the pine, from the bamboo about the bamboo&#8230;No matter how well worded your poems may be, if the feeling is not natural, if you and object have not become one, your poems are not true haiku, but merely imitations of reality.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basho&#8217;s most famous haiku is about a frog that jumps into a pond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Furu ike ya<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>kawazu tobikomu<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>mizu no oto<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>In Japanese characters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u53e4\u6c60\u3084\u3000\u86d9\u98db\u3073\u8fbc\u3080\u3000\u6c34\u306e\u97f3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Translated it might be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Old pond&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>frog jumps in<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>splash!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Give it a try, you might be surprised at how good you are at it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>See the <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?ll=35.0116666667,135.768333333&amp;spn=0.1,0.1&amp;q=35.0116666667,135.768333333 (Kyoto)&amp;t=h\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kyoto<\/a> Garden photos that were taken in 1977 by Paul Atroshenko, an old friend and artist whom I met in Bondi during the sixties.
