HAIKU is a Japanese classical poem style with minimal length of 5-7-5 characters including a seasonal word called "Kigo", the late 19th century revision by Shiki Masaoka of the older hokku. Such imaginative expression has been applauded by many people. Haiku is a story that generates context - the shortest story in the world. Known as the first great haiku poet in the Japanese history, Matsuo Basho is responsible for "Oku No Hosomichi," a prime example of his work. We present the new interactive system, "Hitch Haiku," which supports a user for composing a haiku. The user inputs some words into the system, and the system chooses the most related phrase with the user inputs. The system generates a haiku "hitching" the phrases chosen and the user inputs. If the user does not like the haiku, the user can modify the haiku and make the system learn better haiku.
