  "Crossing the football field
  coming home from work -
  the lonely businessman.

  The American Haiku is not exactly the Japanese
  Haiku. The Japanese Haiku is strictly disciplined
  to seventeen syllables but since the language
  structure is different I don't think American
  Haikus (short three-line poems intended to be
  completely packed with Void of Whole) should worry
  about syllables because American speech is
  something again...bursting to pop.

  Above all, a Haiku must be very simple and free
  of all poetic trickery and make a little picture
  and yet be as airy and graceful as a Vivaldi
  Pastorella."
  Jack Kerouac
