The wren


The wren
Earns his living
Noiselessly.

Haiku is an ancient form of Japanese poetry, which in English usually contains a total of 17 syllables sectioned into three lines. These lines are arranged in a pattern of 5-7-5 syllables. 
 
Although we refer to patterns in terms of syllables, the original Japanese haiku was measured in sounds, or "breaths".
