 Sirius About Haiku
Hello and welcome to the Haiku thread of SBFC. There have been quite a few people who enjoyed this part of WIYM and we wanted to bring it back to life again.
Haiku is a mode of Japanese poetry. If you remember from WIYM that is great, if not then let me explain. Haiku is a poem made up of three (3) lines. Each line has a specific pattern that you must follow called the 5, 7, 5 syllable rule. First line will contain 5 syllables, second line 7, and the third line back to 5.
A syllable is a word or part of a word that can be pronounced with one impulse from the voice. A syllable always contains a vowel sound, and most syllables have consonants associated with the vowel.
Example:
Sirius has 3 syllables – Si-ri-us
The poems do not have to rhyme for it would make it more work than it already is. I hope you have fun in this thread and remember to keep it Sirius related.
Example:
He rides through the night
Upon his motorcycle
So high in the sky |
