Haiku

What is haiku?
Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry, consisting of 17 morae (or on), in three metrical phrases of 5, 7 and 5 morae respectively.

Examples of haiku
-Fallen sick on a journey,
In dreams I run wildly
Over a withered moor.

-No one travels
Along this way but I,
This autumn evening.

-Pressing Sushi;
After a while,
A lonely feeling
