A two line image poem, often with a title, in which euphony is the key factor. Each line may have 8 or 9 syllables to make a total of seventeen.

Shrieks of seagulls die on the breeze; Childhood ebbs away on sunlit seas.

Just lovely. Strong image. Love it! I hear the gulls and the loss of innocence in the surge of the sea.
