For those who may not already know, a Haiku is traditionally a Japanese poem consisting of three short lines that do not rhyme. In the strictest of terms a Haiku also follows a syllable pattern of 5-7-5 and usually some reference to an aspect of nature ..
The origins of Haiku poems can be traced back as far as the 9th century. A Haiku is considered to be more than just a type of poem; it is a way of looking at the physical world and seeing something deeper, like the very nature of existence for example ..

Senryu is a Japanese syllabic verse that deals primarily with human nature and is often expressed through humour. It developed in the 18th century and is named after Karai Senryu who was a judge of comic verse contests. Senryu were originally poems of the merchant class and often made fun of corrupt officials and professionals ..

Whereas a Faikhu, is a deliberate attempt to deceive and to pass itself off at any cost
as something that it most definitely, is not ..
