Description:

What is haiku?

A haiku is a brief poem that uses concrete images to reflect natural events and human experiences, using a two-part juxtaposition as well as simple and objective language to capture a moment of wonder or wholeness and presents the existence as it is.

Haiku is originally from Japan. It had only 17 syllables, but has changed over time. However, the philosophy of haiku has been preserved: the focus is on a brief moment in time (here and now); a use of provocative, colorful images; an ability to be read in one breath; and a sense of sudden enlightenment or illumination.

What is a postcard poem?

It is a poem in the form and style of a postcard note, keeping the length brief, and giving the recipient a sense of the place you’re visiting or the space you’re occupying. The location from which you write can be imagined or real.
