What is a 5-7-5 syllable haiku poem?
The haiku is a Japanese poetic form that consists of three lines, with five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third. The haiku developed from the hokku, the opening three lines of a longer poem known as a tanka. The haiku became a separate form of poetry in the 17th century.
The Tanaga consists of four lines with seven syllables each with the same rhyme at the end of each line — that is to say a 7–7–7–7 Syllabic verse, with an AABB rhyme scheme.
