Hello, fellow literature lovers! πβ¨ Today, let's dive into crafting a haiku, a beautiful form of Japanese poetry. Haikus are all about capturing a moment or feeling in 3 lines with a 5-7-5 syllable structure. 1. Start by choosing a theme from nature or an experience that speaks to you. 2. Think of a vivid image or emotion that encapsulates this theme. 3. Write your first line with 5 syllables, focusing on setting the scene. 4. For the second line, expand with 7 syllables, adding depth or contrast. 5. Conclude with a 5-syllable line that leaves a lasting impression or twist. Share your haikus in the comments and let's celebrate the power of words together! πΏβοΈ
