Haicai, or Haiku, is a short poem originally Japanese that has like theme, generally, the Nature. It contain almost always a word that give us a clue about the season which the scene was watched (Kigo, in Japanese). Concision and objectivity are its main characteristics. In only three verses all poets’ feelings are summarized like a recorded photography on the paper.

It’s the veil that cover all land
And shows us all the wonder"

Butterfly’s repose
Rose’s petal"
