wikipedia has a good description. However, I wouldn't worry to much about the "rules". I think the biggest concepts are, two seemingly contrasting things forming a third meaning and minimalism. I love Japanese art because it is minimalistic. Haiku rules/guidelines don't really translate well into English because the languages are so different so just go with what sounds cool and forget the rules!
nice, but I'd lose the last line. Less is more.
ReplyDeleteHow can I leave out the last line? It's a haiku...
ReplyDelete"that's true, although the three line things isn't a hard rule"
ReplyDeleteOh, I didn't know. Thanks! I'll have to look more into the rules and play around a bit. :)
