Haiku

The haikai verse (singular) or Haiku (plural), is a form of Japanese poetry, consisting of 17 phonetic units, in three metrical phrases of 5, 7, and 5 units respectively, and typically contains a reference to nature. This form uses phrases and not complete sentences.

In the early 20th century Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore composed haiku in Bengali. He also translated some from Japanese.

Haiku in English usually appears in three lines. The first line has 5 syllables, the second has 7 and the third line has 5 syllables again.

In modern Haiku, the number of syllables in each line may be fewer than 5 or 7.
