    Wikipedia said said:Haiku (俳句, haikai verse?) listen (help·info), plural haiku, is a form of Japanese poetry, consisting of 17 Japanese on (a phonetic unit identical to the mora), in three metrical phrases of 5, 7, and 5 on respectively[1], and typically containing a kigo, or seasonal reference. In Japanese, haiku are traditionally printed in a single vertical line, while haiku in English usually appear in three lines, to equate to the Japanese haiku's three metrical phrases[2]. Previously called hokku, it was given its current name by the Japanese writer Masaoka Shiki at the end of 19th century.

    Can a Haiku have a period or hyphen in the middle like this one?...

    I think you have earned

    the joy of a Miata.

    Mine is on e-Bay.

    P71,

    Miata, and E30

    Holy Trinity

    EDIT: requires you pronounce them "seventy-one" and "thrity", not "seven-one" or "three-zero" (though it still works if you say "three-oh")

    Ease of Haiku is

    merely western illusion

    I am wrong again

    My girlfriend is always right

    I don't ever win.

    Mazdas have a soul

    Remove rotary engine

    No more soul remains

    The cheap fix can win

    This we seek for light wallets

    Tow trucks are my friend.

    You are what you do, when it counts.
