Friend Kathryn,
Technically speaking you could be right about Haikus.
Personal understanding is that any poetry that brings out the insight of an enlightenment is what it should be.
However am open for any necessary correction and readers can read them as POETRY by Zen masters.
Love & rgds

Haikus were invented by the Japanese Zen monk Basho. So, like the haiku zenzero posted, it's a translation from a Japanese Zen haiku, so the English might be off.

As far as I remember, a haiku is three lines, the 5-7-5 thing I haven't been sure on because syllables in Japanese are a bit different than English, and the subject matter is to be concrete, no abstractions.
Dreadfish wrote haiku
when taking poetry class
in a cool bright room
There is something else I just remembered; I think there is also a particular subject for each line. I dont remember for sure though
Omniscient Wikipedia will tell you what you need to know.

Friend Dredfish,
Personal understanding is that there can be no classes regards to the essence of *haikus* as without that insight that transforms one to enlightenment it will simply be words at best a poem even if one wrote it in a 5-7-5 formation and in japanese forget in english.
Kindly quote real zen poetries if possible and open the window of consciousness.

I never realized zen had so many rules. We live we learn.
It's a zen thing
he said, you wouldn't understand
he was quite correct

As Suzuki Roshi said, we have so many rules in zen (monasteries) because it gives us freedom. When all you have to do is follow the routine, you can easily drop the thinking mind and continue to practice without discrimination or worry.
I dont really have
anything to say
so, mu!

As now, as it is
nothing fills the bowl of thought
but what I see next
That was my own Zen Haiku. My inspiration as per style came from this site:
Zen and the Art of Haiku*-*Dharma Talks and other articles on Chinese Zen from the Western Chan Fellowship
But, Zen, to me, is letting go and embracing the moment and being one with all around and within but apart from all around and within. It is and it isn't and there's peace. Therefore, the moment is what it is.
I hope this qualifies.
