What is Haiku?

Haiku is one of the most important form of traditional japanese poetry. Haiku is, today, a 17-syllable verse form consisting of three metrical units of 5, 7, and 5 syllables. Since early days, there has been confusion between the three related terms Haiku, Hokku and Haikai. The term hokku literally means "starting verse", and was the first starting link of a much longer chain of verses known as haika. Because the hokku set the tone for the rest of the poetic chain, it enjoyed a privileged position in haikai poetry, and it was not uncommon for a poet to compose a hokku by itself without following up with the rest of the chain.

Pretty Simple, I'll do another...

I Had a Big Dog,
He Had a very loud bark,
I love my Big Dog.

It is 5 7 5, not 7 5 7, and it has to have 5 7 5 syllabes, not words.

There once was a time
When everything was perfect
Now there's only tears.

Edit: A tanka is the 5, 7, 5, 7, 7 pattern.

There once was this time
When I was at your girlfriend's
We did things you'd hate.
