Haiku is a mode of Japanese poetry, the late 19th century revision by Masaoka Shiki of the older hokku, the opening verse of a linked verse form, haikai no renga. The traditional hokku consisted of a pattern of approximately 5, 7, and 5 morae, phonetic units which only partially correspond to the syllables of languages such as English. It also contains a special season word (the kigo) representative of the season in which the renga is set, or a reference to the natural world.
Vado judging from Chili's remark regarding the definition it would be spurious for a haiku to be in English. However to add clarity to it all, a hokku is only the beginning line (as stated of 5 morae) and exists in other traditional Japanese linked poetry. "hok" meaning opening or first & "ku" meaning stanza
Architecture Haiku
Oh architecture,
form, concrete, glass, corten steel.
How I love thee so.
Underpaid I am.
'Intern' carries no respect.
Should have been waitress.
Juxtaposition:
my favorite critique word.
Topologies, too.
Model built from foam,
Ransacked by pack of gnomes who,
Destroyed my scale home
collumns a3 and a4 too small,
displace window to left
can we make it more red?
may want to do a little more research into what constitutes a haiku...
