Haiku is a very short form of Japanese poetry. It is as short a poetry as of just three sentences. The essence of Haiku is cutting. This is often represented by the juxtaposition of two images or ideas.
Modern Japanese Haiku are said by some to increasingly vary from the tradition of 17 on or taking nature as their subject. Despite the western tradition, Juxtaposition is still honored by the modern and the traditional haiku.
