Draw a flower and write a haiku
around it
This is one of the prompts for Blog
Chatter’s half marathon, as I’m a little poor in both the aspects of drawing a
flower and writing haiku.
So I thought to modify the prompt
to my convenience and planned to write a blog post of haiku on flowers and add
an image of a beautiful flower.
The important aspect of the Haiku
is the 5-7-5 format. This is an idea
that a good Haiku answers three questions: Where, When, and what.
Haiku should be as short as
possible but not stripped like telegrams. No need for titles or capitalization.
Traditionally, a haiku depicts a
tiny moment in time and includes a kireji (a “cutting word”) that creates a
pause or sense of closure.
Here are a few haikus:
· MUSKAN AHUJA:
Fallen cherry blossoms
……………………………walk
The haiku path
· SANJUKTAA ASOPA:
Periwinkles-
The joy of being
Ordinary
· R. SURESH BABU:

Unnoticed
In a corner

else can I
Describe my
haiku?

Cloudy afternoon-
A chrysanthemum
blooms
In the paper
folder’s hand
Haiku topics are traditionally
written about nature, the
seasons, animals, and other natural occurrences.
They primarily focus on peaceful, finite ideas. Since a Haiku is short, it is
limited in the number of subjects it can cover in a single verse.
It also can cultivate attention and appreciation of the natural
world, language conciseness, and problem solving.
Because it is such a short and simple form, haiku can be used effectively
across grade levels as both an antidote to writing reluctance and a tool to
nurture creativity and confidence.
