and Lubeck contributed his very own ‘German haiku’:
You know that Kim likes you a lot
She even told me you don’t use your sheik a lot
If someone else wanted to be her child’s father
she’d say “no way”
(“haiku” (俳句, 
listen (help·info)?) (plural haiku) is a very short form of japanese poetry)
.
It is typically characterised by three qualities:
the essence of haiku is “cutting” (kiru). This is often represented by the juxtaposition of two images or ideas and a kireji (“cutting word”) between them, a kind of verbal punctuation mark which signals the moment of separation and colours the manner in which the juxtaposed elements are related
traditional haiku consist of 17 on (also known as morae though often loosely translated as “syllables”), in 3 phrases of 5, 7, and 5 on respectively.
a kigo (seasonal reference), usually drawn from a saijiki, an extensive but defined list of such words.
(modern Japanese haiku (現代俳句 gendai-haiku?) are increasingly unlikely to follow the tradition of 17 on or to take nature as their subject, but the use of juxtaposition continues to be honored in both traditional and modern haiku)
(there is a common, although relatively recent, perception that the images juxtaposed must be directly observed everyday objects or occurrences)
(in japanese, haiku are traditionally printed in a single vertical line while ‘haiku’ in english often appear in 3 lines to parallel the 3 phrases of ‘japanese haiku’)

*previously called hokku, ‘haiku’ was given its current name by the japanese writer ‘masaoka shiki’ at the end of the 1800s*
