ONE LINE HAIKU POEM was created in Japan in the 17th century by haiku Master, Matsuo Basho. Haiku poets have written one-line haiku in a vertical or a horizontal line for centuries. Since the 1960s, American poets (and other Western world countries) have experimented with "one-line haiku".

ONE LINE HAIKU RULES:

- A one-line poem does not exceed one line of type on a normal page and is intended to be read as one unbroken line.

- A one-line poem usually does not include forced pauses (satori) indicated by space or punctuation.

Sometimes the one line haiku can be written across or down.
