    Feel like with Japanese having a syllablic alphabet, trying to do that in a language with a phonetic alphabet (tell me if these are the wrong terms) is less meaningful or artistic. Agree? Or is that a dumb thought?

      Yeah, haikus don't really make as much sense in English. Also, the syllable restriction isn't the only aspect of a haiku, there are other conventions you're supposed to follow, so none of the bot haikus are "real" haikus anyway.

        Oh? What other kinds of things? If you don't mind explaining.

          Traditional Japanese haiku consist of three phrases that contain a kireji , or "cutting word", 17 on (a type of Japanese phoneme) in a 5, 7, 5 pattern, and a kigo or seasonal reference. Similar poems that do not adhere to these rules are generally classified as senryū .
