Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry made of sh made of short, unrhymed lines that evoke natural imagery. Haiku can come in various formats of short verses, though the most common is a three-line poem with a five-seven-five syllable pattern. Defining haiku in terms of syllables and sentences becomes complicated once you translate the poetry across languages. Some translators argue that twelve English syllables would correlate more closely to the seventeen morae (sounds) called “on” used by Japanese haiku poets. Another structural difference caused by translation is that Japanese haiku are written straight across in one line, while English-speaking poets use two line breaks to separate their poems into three lines    https://tinyurl.com/3n6r3mz4
