Buraiha

Buraiha is a type of traditional Japanese poetry. It is written in five lines with a specific pattern of syllables. Each line has a set number of syllables.

The first line has five syllables, the second line has seven syllables, the third line has five syllables again, the fourth line has seven syllables, and the fifth line has seven syllables.

In buraiha, the poet usually talks about deep, meaningful themes, such as love, life, and nature. They also like to include metaphors and symbols to express their feelings. The poem should also have a 'turn' or 'twist' at the end to surprise the reader.

Buraiha is a fun and creative way of writing poems!
