This document provides an introduction to haiku poetry. It explains that haiku are 3 line poems that typically reference a season (kigo) and include a cutting word (kiregi) that changes the direction or flow. It encourages the reader to create a chart of seasonal words for inspiration before writing their own haiku based on sample nature images. The objective is to recognize the origins of haiku and understand the key structural elements of season and cutting word when composing short poems focused on moments of nature.
