Haiku Poems About Haiku Poems

There are seventeen
syllables in this verse form,
and only three lines.

Lines one and three have
five syllables each while the
second has seven.

None of the lines can
rhyme, and the preferred subject
matter is nature.

Increasingly though,
people today write haiku
about their culture.

Did you know that the
singular and plural of
"haiku" are the same?

If everybody
in the world wrote a haiku,
who would read them all?
