Dripping, drizzling, wet; The heavens, with love, do burst; Bow their thanks, the trees. Haiku: "Life-Giving Rain" For those who're still confused, a haiku is a poetic format that utilizes a 17-syllable count. Usually done in the specified structure of 5-7-5, the first line is made up of 5 syllables or sounds; the second line is composed of 7 syllables or sounds; and the third line is of 5 syllables or sounds. Irregardless of the number of words you use, focus on the number of syllables or sounds that you place per line. Also, haiku is a traditional Japanese style of poetry writing that particularly delves with nature as its theme. Hence, you can actually pen down anything--specifically juxtaposing two different elements in nature; thereby, posing the relation between the two. In this post, I used rain and trees. Hence, pointing out the connection between the life-giving essence of rain and the need of trees for water.
