Is it 5-7-5 syllables???


In the Japanese original form it's 5-7-5 morae, which isn't quite the same as syllables. Haiku, for example, would be two syllables in English but is three morae in Japanese. But there's more to it than that. There is a cutting word at the end of the first or second line and there is a seasonal reference in there somewhere.



Yes, Faldage mentioned early on in the thread that there
was a seasonal reference in the haiku, often.
