Surprises hidden inside,
Sunshine on dull day.

About Me

Gigi: Haiku (俳句) is a form of Japanese poetry,a revision of the older 19th century 句, hokku, the opening verse of a linked verse form, haikai no renga. A haiku contains a special season word representative of the season in which the renga is set.Japanese haiku are typically written as a single line, while in English haiku are usually separated into 3 lines.Hokku is used for verses that are written, if only theoretically, as opening verses of haikai no renga; Japanese haiku is, today, a 17-syllable verse form consisting of three metrical units of 5, 7, and 5 syllables. Some early haikus from Bashō: 古池や蛙飛込む水の音　 Furu ike ya kawazu tobikomu mizu no oto Old pond Frog jump-in Water sound 初しぐれ猿も小蓑をほしげ也 Hatsu shigure saru mo komino wo hoshige nari the first cold shower; even the monkey seems to want a little coat of straw. [At that time, Japanese rain-gear consisted of a large, round hat and a shaggy straw cloak.]
