National Haiku Poetry Day
All are encouraged to try their hand at creativity on April 17, National Haiku Poetry Day, which is celebrated annually. Haiku poetry is a form of Japanese poetry that is non-rhyming and usually consist of 3 lines with a syllable pattern of 5-7-5. Haiku poems are usually inspired by an element of nature, a season, a moment of beauty, or an individual's experience. Sensory words are used to express a feeling, image, or moment.

Many famous poets wrote many haiku as one of the world's oldest and regularly used poetry. Although Matsuo Basho is the most well-known, several other names we may recognize are William Blake, T.S. Eliot, or Maya Angelou. And as small as the poem is, it can be very difficult to write. Try recording an entire moment or emotion in 17 syllables and getting it right.
However, English haiku does not necessarily adhere to the strict syllable count found in Japanese haiku. The typical length of haiku in English language journals is 10-14 syllables compared to the Japanese language's 5-7-5 syllables.
