This week in the Haiku Club, we are writing KIGO HAUKU. Kigo is the season word used in haiku. Each season has a list of words: You can write the season name: spring, summer, autumn, and winter; or substitutes:, for example: snow for winter, blossoms for spring, clouds and sun for summer, harvest for autumn.

HAIKU is a Japanese short unrhymed poem that uses imagistic language to express the essence of a deeply felt moment. It resonates on a deeper level, enlightening the reader and making an insightful connection. Most haiku in English consist of three unrhymed lines of seventeen or fewer syllables, though today's poets use a variety of line lengths and arrangements.
Traditional Japanese haiku include a season word (kigo) that helps identify the season, and a break (kireji), usually a dash, that marks a pause. Haiku focus on experience captured in clear images. The most common technique is juxtaposing two images or ideas.
