Source: http://www.wikihow.com/Write-a-Haiku-PoemKnow the difference between Japanese and English haiku. The Japanese haiku and the English language haiku have several critical differences.While traditional haiku in Japanese are divided into 5, 7, and then 5 sounds (not to be confused with syllables), the structure is necessarily different in English-language haiku (despite how this genre is widely mistaught as being 5-7-5 syllables in English).

Among contemporary poems teikei (定型 fixed form) haiku continue to use the 5-7-5 pattern while jiyuritsu (自由律 free form) haiku do not.[9] One of the examples below illustrates that traditional haiku masters were not always constrained by the 5-7-5 pattern.
