Haiku Poem

"The fact that the smallest literary form - haiku - has the most rules never ceases to amaze and astound. The only real comfort one can find in this situation is the concept that this affords a wider range of rules from which a writer can pick and choose. You cannot follow all of the rules and several of them are so contradictory..." 
- Jane Reichhold

 haiku poems consist of 17 Japanese onji (or mora).

No sky
no earth - but still
snowflakes fall
- Hashin
