People from around the world have a slightly different spin on it. the 5-7-5 in three lines remains the same, but I've seen some lovely pieces where the third line gives an entirely new meaning to the first two. An aftrican one that is still in my mind goes something like.. The elephant dies A pond dries round its edges Slowly they expire (That isn't it exactly, but the comparison is the same.) </p> |

They are not one long sentence divided into three parts. The best haikus I've seen (non-Middle-earth ones) have each line stand on its own, or, as Evenspire said, at least the last line stands on its own as an entity - but still reflective of the whole meaning of the haiku.

Hum. I've tried a couple, but found they don't seem to be my forte. (I mean, worse than my regular poetry!)
For example: Quote:
