A haiku is based on an old form of Japanese poetry. It is usually a poem written in 3 lines with a rhythm of 5-7-5. I.e. 5 words on the 1st line, 7 on the second and 5 on the last. All the words in the poem are linked and are essential to the poem. There is a better explanation on this site, Kaolin fire has it somewhere under poems. Thanks. :) have a good one.
