Do you like reciting poems? Which poets are your favourite? Have you ever written poetry? If not, whould you like to try to create haiku? Haiku is a very short form of Japanese poetry. It is typically characterised by three qualities.Modern Japanese haiku (現代俳句 ) are increasingly unlikely to follow the tradition of 17 on (syllables) or to take nature as their subject, but  the use of juxtaposition continues to be honored in both traditional and modern haiku.  The most common categories are: The Season / The Heavens/ The Earth/ Humanity/ Observances/ Animals/ Plants.In Japanese, haiku are traditionally printed in a single vertical line while haiku in English often appear in three lines to parallel the three phrases of Japanese haiku. Previously called hokku, haiku was given its current name by the Japanese writer Masaoka Shiki at the end of the 19th century.                                                You are invited to take part in Haiku contest !
