Haiku

Haiku is a Japanese poem made up of 17 syllables in a 3 line 5-7-5 format.

Bassho broke with tradition in the amount of syllables on each line, though he always made 17.

We always found it suspect that when the Japanese poems are translated into English they are still exactly 17 syllables.

eg "I" in Japanese is "watashi", "you" is "anata" while "comorant" is "eu".

Doesn't add up, does it?

Or rather, it does, which is suspicious.
