Template:Additional citation needed Kigo Shorter haiku are very much more common in 21st century English haiku writing.Ībout 12 syllables in English approximates the duration of 17 Japanese on. In 1973, the Haiku Society of America noted that the norm for writers of haiku in English was to use 17 syllables, but they also noted a trend toward shorter haiku. Conversely, some sounds, such as "kyo" ( きょ) may look like two syllables to English speakers but are in fact a single on (as well as a single syllable) in Japanese. This is illustrated by the Issa haiku below, which contains 17 on but only 15 syllables. Thus, the word "haibun", though counted as two syllables in English, is counted as four on in Japanese (ha-i-bu-n) and the word " on" itself, which English-speakers would view as a single syllable, comprises two on: the short vowel o and the moraic nasal n̩. One of the examples below illustrates that traditional haiku masters were not always constrained by the 5-7-5 pattern.Īlthough the word " on" is sometimes translated as "syllable", one on is counted for a short syllable, two for an elongated vowel or doubled consonant, and one for an "n" at the end of a syllable.

Among contemporary poems teikei ( 定型 fixed form) haiku continue to use the 5-7-5 pattern while jiyuritsu ( 自由律 free form) haiku do not. Traditional haiku consist of 17 on, in three phrases of five, seven and five on respectively. In comparison with English verse typically characterized by syllabic meter, Japanese verse counts sound units known as " on" or morae. Neither the remaining Bashō example nor the Issa example contain a kireji although they do both balance a fragment in the first five on against a phrase in the remaining 12 on (it may not be apparent from the English translation of the Issa that the first five on mean "Edo's rain"). The kireji in the Bashō examples "old pond" and "the wind of Mt Fuji" are both "ya" ( や). In English, since kireji have no direct equivalent, poets sometimes use punctuation such as a dash or ellipsis, or an implied break to create a juxtaposition intended to prompt the reader to reflect on the relationship between the two parts. The use of kireji distinguishes haiku and hokku from second and subsequent verses of renku which may employ semantic and syntactic disjuncture, even to the point of occasionally end-stopping a phrase with a sentence-ending particle ( 終助詞, shūjoshi). The kireji lends the verse structural support, allowing it to stand as an independent poem. The fundamental aesthetic quality of both hokku and haiku is that it is internally sufficient, independent of context, and will bear consideration as a complete work.
Depending on which cutting word is chosen, and its position within the verse, it may briefly cut the stream of thought, suggesting a parallel between the preceding and following phrases, or it may provide a dignified ending, concluding the verse with a heightened sense of closure. A kireji fills a role analogous to that of a caesura in classical western poetry or to a volta in sonnets. In Japanese haiku a kireji, or cutting word, typically appears at the end of one of the verse's three phrases. There are several other forms of Japanese poetry related to haiku, such as senryū and tanka, as well as other art forms that incorporate haiku, such as haibun and haiga.
In Japanese, haiku are traditionally printed as a single line, while haiku in English often appear as three lines. Modern Japanese haiku ( 現代俳句, gendai-haiku) are also said to increasingly vary from the tradition of 17 on or taking nature as their subject. Haiku in English and haiku in other languages have their own styles and traditions while still incorporating aspects of the traditional haiku form.
Originally from Japan, haiku today are written by authors worldwide. Haiku was given its current name by the Japanese writer Masaoka Shiki at the end of the 19th century. These haiku written as an opening stanza were known as hokku and eventually writers began to write them as their own stand-alone poems. Haiku originated as an opening part of a larger Japanese poem, known as a renga. However, modern haiku vary widely on how closely they follow these traditional elements. Traditional Japanese haiku consist of three phrases that contain a kireji, or "cutting word", 17 on (a type of Japanese phoneme) in a 5, 7, 5 pattern, and a kigo, or seasonal reference. Haiku ( 俳句, Audio file "ja-haiku.ogg" not found) is a type of short form poetry originally from Japan. Haiku by Matsuo Bashō reading " Quietly, quietly, / yellow mountain roses fall – / sound of the rapids". For other uses, see Haiku (disambiguation).
