Hay(na)ku is a very simple poetic form, and it’s also one of the newest. It was apparently created in 2003 by poet Eileen Tabios.

Hay(na)ku is a 3-line poem with one word in the first line, two words in the second, and three in the third. There are no restrictions beyond this.

  1. Hmmm…. Interesting. I’ve never been good at math, but here it goes:

    One
    Then two
    And then three

    Alright, that’s my Hay(na)ku poem. At least, thankfully, it was very short, eh?

    Say, CHRISTINE, we missed you during the November 1st Battle Of The Bands round. Will you be joining us the day after tomorrow? December has often included Holiday songs in BOTB, but that’s not any sort of requirement. As always, every BOTBer is their own boss when it comes to musical selections.
