How Quadru Haiku Inspired by Earth, Water, Air and Fire
A haiku is a short, 3-line poem that is often used as a form of poetry. It is said to have been created in Japan over 500 years ago, and it is still popular today. There are many different types of haiku, but the most popular type is the quadrilateral haiku. This type of haiku is composed of four lines that are all composed of 5 syllables. Each line is separated by a pause. The purpose of the pause is to allow the reader to take a breath and contemplate the words before moving on to the next line. This type of haiku is inspired by the elements of Earth, Water, Air and Fire. Each element has a special meaning and purpose when it comes to creating a perfect quadrilateral haiku. In this post, I will be sharing with you my favorite quadrilateral haiku and how they were inspired by the four elements. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them!
