Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry traditionally invoking an aspect of nature or the seasons. While English verse is typically characterised by meter, Haiku verse counts sound units, known as on. Traditional haiku consist of 17 on, in three phrases of 5, 7, 5. The fundamental aesthetic quality of haiku is that it is internally sufficient, independent of context, and will bear consideration as a complete work. With many beautiful illustrations.
