This group welcomes writers and listeners of Haiku poetry. Try it! Haiku is a style of prose poetry. It is a form of Japanese poetry. The traditional ??hokku? consisted of a pattern of approximately 5, 7, 5 ??on?. The Japanese word "on", meaning "sound", corresponds to a ??mora?, a phonetic unit similar but not identical to the syllable of a language such as English. Hokku usually combine two (or rarely, three) different phrases, with a distinct grammatical break (??kireji? usually at the end of either the first five or second seven ??morae?. These elements of the older hokku are considered by many to be essential to haiku as well, although they are not always included by modern writers of Japanese "free-form haiku" and of non-Japanese haiku. Japanese haiku are typically written as a single line, while English language haiku are traditionally separated into three lines.
