About HAIKU ~Japanese Poerty~ ①
Since one of my hobby is making HAIKU, I would like to write about it as my first column.
HAIKU is a Japanese Poerty which is made up by syllables of 5 7 5. Of course, the rhythm of it is a important factor but the most important thing is to choose one season word that seems to fit the poerty most.( A season word is a code phrase that denotes the season.)
Well, actually, it doesn't mean that you always have to keep it in the rhythm of 5 7 5 or find a season word, but it is one of the basic rules.
For example, a cumulonimbus is one of the season word for summer.( I know that it is still spring in the Northern hemisphere, but today was a hot day in Japan so I would like give this word as an example.)
An electric cord,
ranging far far to the
cumulonimbus cloud
送電線
雲の峰へと
連なりぬ
( I'm not sure if this gives the same nuance...)
What' cool about HAIKU? I think there are two points. One is that you can express your feelings in such a short phrase. The another is that HAIKU makes us possible to share the impression you got when you saw a beautiful scenery, read a awesome story, and so on.

I did feel the same until I started Haiku, so I understand that feeling(`・ω・´）

英語に、雄志の俳句は５、６、６だけです。
An e-lec-tric cord (5)
ran-ging far far to the (6)
cu-mu-lo-nim-bus cloud (6)
I am curious as to whether writing your haiku in both Japanese and English helps you learn...Does it?
I didn't mention that.lol
That sounds like a good idea.
I think that will help me improve my writings!
About haikus ~Japanese Poetry~ ① (Since 'haiku' is a commonly known word in English, I'd just write it with regular English syntax.)
Since one of my hobbies is writing haikus, I would (or "I'd") like to write about it as my first entry.
A haiku is a traditional Japanese poem consisting of three lines, whose syllable counts are 5, 7, and 5 respectively.
