At the push of a button, Haiku Time creates a unique, original haiku poem: a centuries-old Japanese poetic tradition meets the information age. Create a haiku, then edit lines yourself until you have a poem you like. Save your favorite haiku to revisit and edit. Use Haiku Time to impress your friends, relax, find inspiration, or just watch the way chance can lead to unexpected beauty.

Haiku Time has been recognized by The Haiku Foundation and WBUR’s “On Point“ with Tom Ashbrook for its accuracy and style. Unlike other haiku generators, Haiku Time uses syntax and vocabulary that have been carefully honed to produce aesthetically pleasing poetry. The haiku generation algorithm yields tens of millions of possibilities, all of which have correct grammar and syllable counts. All of the poetry it generates uses seasonal vocabulary and natural images, a hallmark of traditional haiku.

“With its vast vocabulary and smooth simple interface, Haiku Time is the perfect app for anyone. It’s easy to use and consistently churns out brilliant poetry that is sure to impress.”

“Beautiful design, amazing vocabulary, wonderful haikus, easy to use, perfect for anyone, really. This is my favorite app of all time.”

“This actually generates great haiku, unlike other haiku generators. This programmer knew what he was doing."
