   While we’re in the mood, why not reread Gary Ablett’s 40 animals haikus?

   What exactly are the rules of writing a haiku?

   Traditionally a haiku is three lines, composed of 5 cyllables, 7 cyllables and 5 cyllables respectively, such as

   Friendly caribou
   nuzzling my youngest son
   each lick is joyful

   But modern, Westernised haiku forms are less strict,
   and can be three lines of varying cyllables, such as

   Gnome beside your pond
   poisoning your fishes
   with his urine

   “Cyllable,” by the way, is the modern, Westernised way of writing the traditional ancient Japanese word “syllable.”
