How to write a good #haiku:
from Kathy Uyen Nguyen's FB post
1) Read lots of classics like Issa, Basho, Buson, etc.
2) Read modern contemporary haiku in online journals (e.g., Modern Haiku, DailyHaiku, Roadrunner, etc.) and books (ex: http://www.haikuworld.org/books/)
3)
Do not strictly function in the 5/7/5 format, but what's more important
in the English language is to learn the elements of haiku such as
kireji, kigo, and zoka.
4) Do not force yourself; let it flow naturally as you write.
5) Practice and patience
