Haiku is a form of poetry
which originated in Japan
with such exemplary poets
such as Basho. In the early 1950s
and 1960s it regained popularity
as a Westernized poetry form
with the Beatnik writing movement.
Jack Kerouac appreciated its style
and jazziness. More recently,
Haiku is enjoyed by traditional style
poets as well as spoken word
poetry.
