About Syllables & Haiku
What are syllables?
Syllables are units of pronunciation that typically contain a vowel sound. For example, "cat" has 1 syllable, "basket" has 2 syllables (bas-ket), and "beautiful" has 3 syllables (beau-ti-ful).
Traditional Haiku
Traditional Japanese haiku follow a 5-7-5 syllable pattern across three lines. They often capture a moment in nature or evoke a strong emotion or image.
Modern Poetry
While traditional forms have specific syllable requirements, modern poetry is more flexible. Syllable counting can still help with rhythm and flow.
