April 17 is National Haiku Poetry day! I have already done one haiku, but it’s always fun to do another. For anyone that doesn’t know, haiku are Japanese in origin and are poems that follow a 5-7-5 syllable pattern. Typically, a traditional haiku would be more nature focused, almost like a meditation and appreciation of the world around us, though that is not a requirement. It is also not necessary to rhyme as I do in mine, so long as you follow the 5-7-5 pattern.
