What is Haiku?

"It is a traditional form of Japanese poetry.  Haiku poems consist of 3 lines.  The first and last lines of a Haiku have 5 syllables and the middle line has 7 syllables. The lines rarely rhyme." (Guenther)


There are famous English poems that depicted this form such as "In A Station of the Metro" by Ezra Pound. Here is my attempted poem as well:


Where am I, where am I going? by Ahmed Almejerfi

Turning left and right

Walking beside the seashore

The road to nowhere
