Haiku for autumn: Ottawa Ontario September 2025

A hallowed spire.

 

A haiku is a type of Japanese poem that always uses the same number of syllables in a three-line format:

  • the first line is five syllables
  • the second line is seven syllables
  • the third line is five syllables

Unlike many other poems, haikus usually don’t rhyme.

Often, a haiku focuses on a single moment in time and, in many cases, juxtaposes two images.
