Spanish Haiku?

Question

Is there such a thing? And, better yet, is it more difficult than in English?

Examples welcome.

Hi, NCI!

Here you have a link to a website with very beatiful pictures and some Haikus in Spanish, including a daily one.

Answer 6

Yes, this is true, but when I was in grade school (somewhere around the Jurassic Period) we had to make up Haikus in English class. Ofcourse, we had to do it in English. Y'know, the 5-7-5 syllable count. NCISfan15 asks a valid question: Do schools in Central/South America cover Haikus in language/literature/poetry classes? I know that there is a significant Japanese minority in Peru.

I would love to see some examples of Spanish Haikus!! And yes! For me it would be more difficult than English because so many everyday words in Spanish have more syllables.

Stand by . . . . I feel a creative peristaltic surge building . . . .

My son had to write them in school in English as well. - amykay, May 25, 2011

Answer 7

Yeah I made a bunch once. No one says haiku's are limited to Japanese, there are plenty of English ones.

Here's one:

La vida me da, Una o otra cosa, Toda es nada.
