How QUICKLY you SLIPPED and put on a teacher’s hat to teach about haiku. My bad, this was a prompt about “quick and slip”, so it must have been natural.🙂

I learned by reading the advice from Ron then added to my knowledge from Colleen Cheseboro who does the Tuesday tanka challenge.
The most important factor is s haiku should be about nature. The 5/7/5 syllable count for the three lines is important. Yoyr first two lines (5/7) should read like one sentence. The second and third lines 7/5) should also read like a sentence too.
So there is an overlap to the words…
Does that make sense?
So… my haiku today…
Amazing how quick
Winter slips into springtime
Fresh starts for us all
Should split neatly
Amazing how quick winter slips into springtime
And
Winter slips into springtime, fresh starts for us all
Hope that helps!

Lol!!! It took me a few goes to get it.
Remember a haiku is based on nature.
Remember the 5/7/5 syllable count
So line one has 5 syllables
Line two has 7 syllables
Line three has 5 syllables
There is no rhyming involved. It’s more about the meaning of the words you use and the two sentences you create!

No it is what you count when you break a word down.
So apple has 2 syllables… a pple
Banana has 3… ba na na
Syllable has 3… sy lla ble
Procrastination has 5… pro cras ti na tion
Any clearer?

Yes little bit so now you’re saying it’s 575 the first line should contain five syllables the second seven An 3rd 5 yes 😉d
