A few dozen Haiku from Basho, Issa, Shiki, Buson - the BIG FOUR of the little poem. It's all about using CONCRETE images to reveal something ephemeral. You'd think that it's simple - 3 lines divide 17 syllables in the order 5/7/5, but if you're a traditionalist there are an additional 65 rules you must follow. Have a little more to say? There is the older Tanka-style poem where you get two bonus lines (7 syllables each) to try to summarize all of existence. CREDITS: Haiku for People.
