• A Haiku is a form of poetry adapted from a type of traditional Japanese poetry.

• The traditional form of the Haiku had three basic rules.

• The first rule is that the first and third lines have five syllables (parts of words that "make your chin drop" when you say them) and the second line has seven syllables.

• The second rule is that the poem should in some way tell about the season in which the poem takes place.

• It doesn't have to come out and say the season; it can just hint at it.

• The third rule is that either the first or second line should have   a "pause" placed there to cause the reader to stop and think for a moment about the subject.

• What follows are two different ideas, one about fishing and  one about a father.

• Try writing one for your dad --- he'll love it!
