the wise don't trust histories that aren't written in haiku's anymore, the ancient wisdom has returned then.
internet chi healers, and hippies unite in the spirit of organic technologies

@iSoBoredMeIs It's actually morae not syllables, in japanese a syllable can have many morae. Tokyo (toukyou in roumaji) is 2 syllables but 5 morae. One mora is one vowel with an otopnal consonant before it, a consonant+y combination is an extra mora, a consonant at the end fo a syllable is an extra mora and a long vowel or diphthong is also an extra mora. So ryuu (dragon) has 3 mora.

A haiku poem is a form of japanese poetry written in 3 lines. The first line has 7 syllables. The second line has 5 and the third has 7. I think anyway. Correct me if wrong.

Almost. It is 5-7-5 :)
