NOTE:
Japanese-style Haiku poetry has strict construction rules. Each poem has only 17 syllables and 3 lines - 5 syllables in the first, 7 in the second, 5 in the third.

Haikus are used to communicate a timeless message often achieving a wistful, yearning and powerful insight through extreme brevity - the essence of Zen.
