Haiku I

AR, 17 syllables only...but this isn't True Haiku (I'm not Japanese) it's sorta (Hoosier which I am) Haiku though I did the two juxtaposition words All Nothing. Definition below :)

Haiku (俳句, haikai verse^?) listen (help·info) (no separate plural form), is a very short form of Japanese poetry typically characterised by three qualities:

• The essence of haiku is "cutting" (kiru).^[1] This is often represented by the juxtaposition of two images or ideas^[2] and a kireji ("cutting word") between them, a kind of verbal punctuation mark which signals the moment of separation and colours the manner in which the juxtaposed elements are related.^[3]
• Traditional haiku consist of 17 on (also known as morae), in three phrases of 5, 7 and 5 on respectively.^[4] Any one of the three phrases may end with the kireji.^[5] Although haiku are often stated to have 17 syllables,^[6] this is incorrect as syllables and on are not the same.
• A kigo (seasonal reference), usually drawn from a saijiki, an extensive but defined list of such words. The majority of kigo, but not all, are drawn from the natural world. This, combined with the origins of haiku in pre-industrial Japan, has led to the inaccurate impression that haiku are necessarily nature poems.
