For doing well you will receive special treats relevant to the holiday!Lets begin with some historyHaiku comes from a form of Japanese poetry called Tanka, which was popular in the 9th-12th centuriesTankaTanka was used to discuss religious and cortly issues. It was 5 lines in length and had a 5-7-5-7-7 syllable structure. Two people would often form a longer poem by continuing the syllable structure from the previous poem. This is called a renga.Where Haiku comes fromThe beginning of the tanka was called a hokku or a starting verse. Eventually these hokkus were made their own poem. This is where we got the word haiku. Basho, Buson, Issa, and Shiki are all credited with helping develop the haiku, but Basho was the most famous.BashoBasho began to write poems for publication in 1676. In 1684 he started his travels around Japan after he experienced personal devastation when his house burned down.Please click on the video to begin watching.
