HAIKU Assignment - AS Learning - extra
Read the following information:
Haiku poetry was originally developed by Japanese poets, and is often inspired by nature, a moment of beauty, or an emotional experience.
Use concrete images and descriptions. Avoid any ideas that are abstract or vague. Instead, go for 'imagery' that is easy for the reader to 'imagine'.
Haikus are meant to be read in one breath.
Try describing the subject with details that feel fresh and new.
