Pause for a moment, and write a haiku about what's around you.

Posted on May 9th, 2007 by Gaia Team : Gaia Team Gaia Team

A haiku is a sort of Japanese poetry--perhaps the smallest literary form--composed of three lines and seventeen or fewer syllables. The subject of a haiku is usually something experienced in everyday life--the pinning of a moment that might seem ordinary but which captures a bit of awe in the noticing.
