Your Day 2 Making Time challenge: For 2 minutes… write a haiku
Forget boring work emails, today we challenge you to write creatively… bring on the two-minute haiku challenge!
The haiku is a simple and powerful form of Japanese poetry that captures a single image or a moment in time. It’s always written over three lines and the structure is based on syllables: there are five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third. Here’s an example by haiku master Matsuo Basho:
An old silent pond…
A frog jumps into the pond,
splash! Silence again.
