If you want to write haiku by your
own:
3 lines: The first has 5 syllables,
the second 7 and the third 5.
Or a total of 17 syllables.
For a 'tanka' you add two lines
of 7 syllables in each line.
The poem should have an element
of nature. Try it!
It works best after meditation.
If you have a question or any comment,
don't hesitate to write to me.
