Talk:haiku
A few modifications[edit]
- Not really necessary to mention that a translation of a haiku is a haiku any more than it is to mention that a translation of a novel is a novel, or a translation of a sonnet is a sonnet.
- "syllables" and Japanese letters are pretty close, and the sense of "syllable" when referring to a haiku in Japanese is actually just a letter. There are a few small differences, as a letter that we wouldn't normally distinguish as a syllable counts against the total, e.g., the final n in nihon or the first t in matte.
- The example that was there was for the wrong def. It was neither a Japanese haiku nor a translation thereof; it was a haiku in English.
- I removed the details of haiku-making as they are more encyclopedic in nature. They belong on the wikipedia, and if we really want them in the wiktionary def, we should put them in a usage note or somesuch. Jun-Dai 01:38, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Rfv-sense "short poem in the style of a translation of a Japanese haiku". The quotation does not support the sense. It speaks of a poem that resembles a haiku, but does not state that it would actually be called haiku. --Hekaheka 07:31, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
