English haiku are generally more flexible, especially in translation of Japanese haiku masters. Early haiku translators aimed for either word-for-word transcription, which could be longer or shorter than 17 syllables and more often not 5-7-5, or they'd aim to capture the imagery, and suffer the same problem. <a href="http://www.haikupoetshut.com/basho1.html" rel="nofollow">For example, these three translations of Matsuo Bashō:</a><br /><br /><b>R.H. Blyth:</b><br />Moonlight slants through<br />The vast bamboo grove:<br />A cuckoo cries <br /><br /><b>Lucien Stryck:</b><br />From moon wreathed<br />bamboo grove,<br />cuckoo song<br /><br /><b>Peter Beilenson:</b><br />Moonlight slanting<br />through all this long bamboo grove<br />and nightingale song<br /><br />Some American haikus are also written in the spirit of the Japanese form and just have three lines and syllables aren't even calculated. The reasoning is that the Japanese syntax and syllabic structure is far simpler for the form than the hodgepodge English language with 10s of thousands of loan words and blended roots.<br />The National Poetry Slam's only rule for Slam Haiku is 17 syllables. These are more in the style of senryū, but the term is less commonly known although more accurate.<br /><br /><a href="http://foxthepoet.blogspot.com/2009/07/gumptionfest-iv-will-have-haiku-death.html" rel="nofollow">GumptionFest IV will have a Haiku Death Match</a>FoxThePoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10261979793062551850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869433775702147571.post-42051526223545498822010-01-04T16:47:36.814-07:002010-01-04T16:47:36.814-07:00I notice that most of those haikus aren't actu...I notice that most of those haikus aren't actually haikus...<br /><br />Traditional haikus follow 5-7-5 pattern.
