“Traditional Japanese haiku consist of three phrases composed of 17 morae (called on in Japanese) in a 5, 7, 5 pattern; that include a kireji, or "cutting word"; and a kigo, or seasonal reference… Similar poems that do not adhere to these rules are generally classified as senryū.”
Also almost every Haiku people post (including mine) are just painfully terrible. There are many many excellent translations of actual Haiku, please, go seek them out: Matsuo Bashō, Kobayashi Issa, Mizuoka Shiki, Natsume Sōseki.

I had someone try to explain to me that native English speakers are allowed to pluralize foreign words by slapping an ’s’ on the end however they like, and as a terminally native English speaker I did not dignify them an answer.
