About

Welcome to Pure Haiku – a quiet corner of the internet where three simple lines can hold an entire moment.

Haiku writing is more than just a form of poetry. It’s a way of slowing down, noticing the small details that often pass us by, and capturing them in their purest form. Here, we explore the beauty of brevity – one breath, one scene, one feeling at a time.

I created Pure Haiku to share my love for this timeless Japanese art and to make it accessible to anyone, whether you’re a lifelong poetry reader, a beginner writer, or simply someone who enjoys pausing for a moment of stillness in a noisy world.

On this site, you’ll find:

• Guides on how to write haiku that feel alive and personal
• Seasonal collections inspired by nature, sound, and everyday life
• Examples from both classic masters and modern voices
• Writing prompts to help you create your own haiku in minutes

Every haiku on Pure Haiku is chosen or written with care, aiming to be more than just words on a page. My hope is that each one becomes a small window — a view into a feeling, a memory, or a piece of the world you didn’t notice until now.

If you’ve ever wished for a moment of calm, a brief spark of inspiration, or even a few words that stay with you long after you’ve read them, you’re in the right place.

Take your time. Read slowly. And maybe, before you leave, write a haiku of your own.
