A haiku was a traditional poem, oftenly evocative and sometimes elitist. [1]

Contents

Construction Edit

It was written in a pattern of approximately 5-7-5 morae (phonetic units). It also contained a special "season word" descriptive of the season in which the haiku was set in. Haiku typically aimed to capture a single scene or emotion- such as the sight of the first fall of snow, or a single black crow upon a wilting branch- in a precise, metered manner. [citation needed]

Origin Edit

Haiku were originally developed by the ronin poet Rezan. Until that time most poetry shorter than five lines was considered frivolous. [2]

Duels Edit

It became popular to made duels of Haiku, to demonstrate own poetry skills. [3]
