HAIKU

A haiku poem has three lines, where the first and last lines have five
moras, while the middle line has seven. The pattern in Japanese genre
is 5-7-5. The mora is another name of a sound unit, which is like a
syllable, but it is different from a syllable. As the moras cannot be
translated into English, they are modified and syllables are used instead.
The lines of such poems rarely rhyme with each other.
