Weeping cherry grove Japanese <i><a href="https://www.britannica.com/art/haiku" rel="noreferrer nofollow">haiku</a></i>
follows five-seven-five rule
Unless translated...

... from an original Japanese language <i>haiku</i> poem of seventeen syllables that is often about nature and a season, such as cherry blossoms and spring, into a foreign language that has to describe and try to explain what the Japanese are talking about. Haiku originally was a witty introduction to the rest of the prose before it was separated and became autonomous. Oops, I went past the limit, didn't I? Did I at least get the three-line form down? 😉
