These haiku have been written by Japanese high school students who are studying English as a foreign language. Though some people may say that a haiku should have three lines of five, seven, and five syllables, the essay in the textbook that we have just read encourages us to write haiku in a freer way. So, we tried making very free haiku. The teacher is sure that some of these haiku will make you smile. We hope you will enjoy them.
