the place to instantly write your own haiku poems

---

     

Butterfly Haiku started as a classroom project to make writing poetry more accessible to all students. 

 By selecting the phrases in each line,

You can write a Haiku in record time.

Haiku is a type of Japanese poetry,

And the poems don’t need to rhyme.

The style uses nature scenes and brevity,

To express certain truths in three lines.

5, 7, 5 is the number of syllables,

Get as close to this as you are able

The point is to express an idea for you

And create a vision that is beautiful,

Light and quick, like a Butterfly Haiku

Floating on a summer breeze graceful.
