Haiku - Imagism Poems

 By Eddlynn Jennifer Mangaoang


Definitions

According to Wikipedia, Haiku (俳句) is "a type of short form poetry originally from Japan. Traditional Japanese haiku consist of three phrases that contain a kireji, or "cutting word", 17 on (a type of Japanese phoneme) in a 5, 7, 5 pattern, and a kigo, or seasonal reference. Similar poems that do not adhere to these rules are generally classified as senryū."


Imagism, according to MasterClass, is "an early twentieth-century poetic movement that emphasized clear, direct language."


Note: In my creative writing class, one of my assignments was to write Haiku with a touch of Imagism. It says to "focus on the Imagist technique through haiku," and that's what I did.
