A Haiku poem has 17 syllables and 3 lines. The first and third lines contain 5 syllables each, and the second line has 7 syllables. Haiku poems generally do not rhyme. Nature is often, but not always, the subject of Haiku. Perhaps seeing an example will refresh your memory. This is a Haiku written by Basho Matsuo in the 1600's:
An old silent pond
a frog jumps into the pond,
Splash! Silence again.
You are probably wondering why a crafting blog is presenting a lesson on poetry. There is a good reason! Skacel yarn company, producer of HiKoo® yarns, is sponsoring a Haiku contest. I'm writing about the contest because we at the Stitchin' Den want one of our customers to win the prize...$500 worth of HiKoo® yarn. Imagine the exciting projects you could knit or crochet with $500 worth of yarn! All you need to do is write the winning Haiku, submit it by December 15th, 2017, and redeem your prize at the Stitchin' Den.
Here is a modern example of a Haiku poem, written by Skacel yarn company:
HiKoo® yarn is great.
My needles are addicted.
Must feed them more yarn.
HiKoo® yarn is great.
My needles are addicted.
Must feed them more yarn.
Some of our favorite HiKoo® yarns are Simplinatural, Kenzie, CoBaSi, Sueno, Rylie, and Luma. Stop in, check out these yarns, write 17 syllables, and win!
