In Japan, haiku is written in 17 syllables and three lines ( 5/7/5) but in English is 17 syllables OR LESS. Capitalization and punctuation should only be used when necessary. No end rhymes. use a dash before the satori (usually the last line). Avoid alliteration, metaphor, personification, and capital letters (proper names are okay).
