Like the discipline of condensing thoughts?
Welcome TO
The Haiku Niche!
Haiku is druglike
Addictive and mind blowing
I'm well and truly hooked!
Scribler
Thoughts distilled, condensed
images in syllables
dispense grace and light.

Haiku is Japanese originally. In English-speaking countries, we write it in three lines. The first line is 5 syllables, the second 7, and the last one 5 again. Haiku is always about natural images.

Senryu, which has the same syllable pattern, deals with emotions and events instead.
There is a third form that's called Tanka. It's 5 lines long. The first 3 lines are like Haiku, but there are 2 more 7 syllable lines at the end.
