POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Originating from Japan, the haiku is a concise form of unrhymed poetry. It consists of 17 “on”-s that in English correspond roughly to short syllables, which are patterned in three lines as 5-7-5. The Japanese poets Matsuo Basho (1644-1694) and Ueshima Onitsura (1661-1694) elevated the haiku (known then as “hokku”) to a level of refined art that gained broad popularity.
