- Brevity
- They don't take long to write
- Encourages going out for a walk
- Develops observation skills
- Improve your writing and thinking
- It's quite relaxing, yet gives the old brain cells a good workout
- Write them on your phone
- Illustrate them with photos (illustrated haiku are called haiga, or shahai* if you use photos)
- It's an art form, the world needs more art
* I do not consider the haiku on this blog to be shahai because I separate the photo from the words, unless you want to consider a blog post to be a complete piece of art. And my photos may bear no relationship to the verse - I simply post what I like.
