    Thanks friend.

    As I understand it, haikus need to satisfy certain rules.

    Put simplistically, rather than simply, a haiku is a Japanese poetry form involving three lines, the first of which consists of 5 syllables, the second 7 syllables and the third 5 syllables again. There are many haiku enthusiasts in the English language too. Hence the proliferation of haiku magazines. The rigid syllable rule is often ignored these days. Even four line haikus are quite common. However, a haiku fails if it contains similies.
