Haiku

Technically, a Haiku is written in Japanese and beyond the bounds of this project. roughly translated into English as a three-line poem whose lines have a syllable count of 5-7-5 respectively. Haiku aficianados may also include semantic constraints such as a requirement to indicate a season, so borrow this very serious form at your peril. Also see Conjoined Forms.
