Abstract
This paper explores how haiku can enhance the creative writing skills of undergraduate students in the English Language department at the Faculty of Education, Janzour, University of Tripoli. Haiku, a Japanese form of poetry, consists of three lines and 17 syllables. Its themes often revolve around nature and emotions. The researcher employed a mixed-methods approach, involving quantitative techniques in pre- and post-tests to assess students’ writing abilities before and after participating in haiku tasks. And a qualitative technique via focus group discussions to capture students' perceptions. Findings indicate a significant improvement in students’ creative writing skills, as evidenced by their ability to generate vivid imagery and emotions within a limited word count.
