Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry, consisting of 17 syllables, in three metrical phrases of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively.
There are several Windows/Open Source/Gnu/Linux/Ubuntu Haiku threads on this forum, and I have compiled some of the best for everyone's enjoyment.
Credit is provided for the author of each set of verses.
Enjoy!
