In this post, I will try to encourage you to create stories through poem. Some of you might not like it, even I don't like it as well. There is a very limited space when dealing with poem, some people find it frustrating to build a story in such a tiny 'space'. What is poetry, anyway? What makes it so limited?
Well, here I try to describe poetry by using my own words. It can be images, moments in time, evokes mood, expression, lyrical, humor, ambiguous, verses, succinct, story, onomatopoeia, alteration or repetition of consonants, rhyme, short lines, or symbolism. There are endless type of poetry in the world, but now we will only focus on haiku, a form of Japanese poetry written in the pattern of 5,7,5 morae (partially similar to english syllables). Haiku is a modern revision by Masaoka Shiki of the much older hokku, the opening verse of haikai no renga. It contents seasonal words, describing the changes of seasons every year.
One of the most famous haiku writer is Ryunosuke Akutagawa:
Sick and feverish
Glimpse of cherry blossoms
Still shivering
