Haiku are traditional Japanese three-line poems that conform to a standard pattern. In the original Japanese, the first line had five syllables, the second seven, and the third: five again. The beauty lies in the simplicity and natural focus... | "I write, erase, rewrite | Erase again, and then | A poppy blooms." | - Katsushika Hokusai | Simply listening to and contemplating haiku can open and free the mind.
