How to write Haiku
In japanese, the rules for how to write Haiku are clear, and will not be discussed here. In foreign languages, there exist NO consensus in how to write Haiku-poems. Anyway, let's take a look at the basic knowledge:
What to write about?
Haiku-poems can describe almost anything, but you seldom find themes which are too complicated for normal PEOPLE's recognition and understanding. Some of the most thrilling Haiku-poems describe daily situations in a way that gives the reader a brand new experience of a well-known situation.
The metrical pattern of Haiku
Haiku-poems consist of respectively 5, 7 and 5 syllables in three units. In japanese, this convention is a must, but in english, which has variation in the length of syllables, this can sometimes be difficult.
The technique of cutting.
The cutting divides the Haiku into two parts, with a certain imaginative distance between the two sections, but the two sections must remain, to a degree, independent of each other. Both sections must enrich the understanding of the other.
To make this cutting in english, either the first or the second line ends normally with a colon, long dash or ellipsis.
The seasonal theme.
Each Haiku must contain a kigo, a season word, which indicate in which season the Haiku is set. For example, cherry blossoms indicate spring, snow indicate winter, and mosquitoes indicate summer, but the season word isn't always that obvious.
Please notice that Haiku-poems are written under different rules and in many languages. For translated Haiku-poems, the translator must decide whether he should obey the rules strictly, or if he should present the exact essence of the Haiku. For Haiku-poems originally written in english, the poet should be more careful.
These are the difficulties, and the pleasure of Haiku.
First learn the rules
Then you can break the rules
BUT first... Learn the rules

only passing through
gone,
all the wood he chopped for me -
dreams up in smoke
under quilts
to keep warm-
winter lovemaking
in the cold bed
your warmth surrounds me
winter winds
night chill
creeps through the tent
your warm back...
coffee brewing-
her breasts pressed to my back
opposing urges
rose petal fresh
the scent of her breasts
intoxicating me
sparks of light
burning love letters
your shadow on the wall

new years day
another white rosebud
lingers still
fighting pneumonia
each winter's haiku
struggle for breath
