Haiku (俳句, haikai verse?) listen (help·info), plural haiku, is a form of Japanese poetry Japanese poets first encountered Chinese poetry when it was at its peak in the Tang Dynasty. It took them several hundred years to digest the foreign impact, make it a part of their culture and merge it with their literary tradition in their mother tongue, and begin to develop the diversity of their native poetry. For example, in the Tale of Genji, consisting of 17 moras Mora is a unit of sound used in phonology that determines syllable weight (which in turn determines stress or timing) in some languages. Like many technical linguistics terms, the exact definition of mora varies. Perhaps the most succinct working definition was provided by the American linguist James D. McCawley in 1968: a mora is “Something of (or on On are the phonetic units that are counted in Japanese haiku, and in linguistics are called morae. The word moji (文字, character symbol) is also sometimes used, as is haku (拍)), in three metrical phrases of 5, 7, and 5 moras respectively.[1] Haiku typically contain a kigo, or seasonal reference, and a kireji Kireji is the term for a special category of words used in certain types of Japanese traditional poetry. It is regarded as a requirement in traditional haiku, as well as in the hokku, or opening verse, of both classical renga and its derivative renku (haikai no renga). There is no exact equivalent of kireji in English, and its function can be or verbal caesura In meter, caesura is a term to denote an audible pause that breaks up a line of verse. In most cases, caesura is indicated by punctuation marks which cause a pause in speech: a comma, a semicolon, a full stop, a dash, etc. Punctuation, however, is not necessary for a caesura to occur. In Japanese, haiku are traditionally printed in a single vertical line, while haiku in English Haiku in English is a development of the Japanese haiku poetic form in the English language usually appear in three lines, to parallel the three metrical phrases of Japanese haiku.[2] Previously called hokku Hokku is the opening stanza of a Japanese orthodox collaborative linked poem, renga, or of its later derivative, renku (haikai no renga). From the time of Matsuo Bashō (1644–1694), the hokku began to appear as an independent poem, and was also incorporated in haibun (in combination with prose), and haiga (in combination with a painting). In the, haiku was given its current name by the Japanese writer Masaoka Shiki at the end of the 19th century.
