DUST Search - Dust 575: Haiku Time!!!

literally the first Google search result wrote:

Japanese Haiku traditionally consist of 17 on, or sounds, divided into three phrases: 5 sounds, 7 sounds, and 5 sounds. English poets interpreted on as syllables. Haiku poetry has evolved over time, and most poets no longer adhere to this structure, in either Japanese or English; modern Haiku may have more than 17 sounds or as few as one.

English syllables vary greatly in length, while Japanese on are uniformly short. For this reason, a 17-syllable English poem can be much longer than a traditional 17-on Japanese poem, straying from the concept that Haiku are meant to distill an image using few sounds. Although using 5-7-5 is no longer considered to be the rule for Haiku in English, it is still often taught that way to children in school.

When you're deciding how many sounds or syllables to use in your Haiku, refer to the Japanese idea that the Haiku should be able to be expressed in one breath. In English, that usually means the poem will be 10 to 14 syllables long. Take, for example, this haiku by
American novelist Jack Kerouac:

Snow in my shoe
Abandoned
Sparrow's nest
