Haiku

Japanese poems; based on syllable usage; Five, seven, then five

As the informative example above shoes, Haiku is (or 'are' as it's plural at the same time!) a Japanese poem based on numbers of syllables. Generally a haiku consists of three parts where the first and last use five syllables, with the middle using seven. These are not usually rhyming poems, but Rob has been known to smith a few.

Zounds, a Haiku War! What started this crazy fight? Syllables rejoice!
