Haiku is a poetic form and a type of poetry from the Japanese culture. Haiku combines form, content, and language in a meaningful, yet compact form. Haiku poets, which you will soon be, write about everyday things. Many themes include nature, feelings, or experiences. For this site, you’ll use beer, brewing, and the joys both bring to our lives. Haikus usually use simple words and grammar. The most common form for Haiku is three short lines.

The first line usually contains five (5) syllables, the second line seven (7) syllables, and the third line contains five (5) syllables. Haiku doesn't rhyme. A Haiku must "paint" a mental image in the reader's mind. This is the challenge of Haiku - to put the poem's meaning and imagery in the reader's mind in ONLY 17 syllables over just three (3) lines of poetry! Please refrain from obscenity when creating a good haiku. Cheers!

Please, build a hotel,
So I can stay over night,
And safely return.
