What is a haiku?
Three lines. Seventeen syllables in classical translation: 5-7-5. The form's discipline forces every word to count.
Originally the opening stanza (hokku) of a longer renga, the haiku separated into a standalone form in the 17th century through Bashō, who grounded it in seasonal observation and the cut (kireji) between images.
Tip: A good haiku juxtaposes two images that comment on each other without saying so. Look for that gap between line 2 and line 3.
