Haiku
A form of Japanese poetry, written in 17 syllables divided into 3 lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables.
Many people like to write haiku poems with multiple stanzas (one stanza is made of 3 lines).
Various haikus written by Richard Wright:
(each color represents a different syllable)
One magnolia (5)
Landed upon another (7)
In the dew-wet grass. (5)
As the sun goes down, (5)
a green melon splits open (7)
And juice trickles out. (5)
