Nov 18, 2008 - A haiku poem is a form of japanese poetry written in 3 lines. The first line has 7 syllables. The second line has 5 and the third has 7. I think anyway. Correct me if wrong.
thejapanshop Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Almost. It is 5-7-5 :)

Nov 18, 2008 - Haiku - A 3 line poem that has 5 syllables in the first, seven in the second, and 5 in the third. Usually about nature.
Schpwuette Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - It's not 5-7-5 syllables, it's 5-7-5 'mora'...So if you wrote it out in hiragana, there would be 5-7-5 kana.
