Haiku
The poetry form of haiku was developed in Japan and later became popular in the United States. Haiku is the shortest form of poetry in Japan. It tells a story or makes a picture in your mind of something that happens in nature. Many descriptive words are used in this seventeen-syllable poem. Usually haiku is written in three lines. There are five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third. It does not rhyme. From: http://k12.albemarle.org/MurrayElem/Projects/langarts/haiku/japanintro.html
