English haiku can follow the traditional Japanese rules, but are frequently less strict, particularly concerning the number of syllables and subject matter.

Traditionally in Japan where the Haiku originates, a three-line format with 17 syllables arranged in a 5–7–5 pattern or about 10 to 14 syllables,which more nearly approximates the duration of a Japanese haiku with the second line usually the longest. Some poets want their haiku to be expressed in one breath.
