17 syllables in three metrical phrases of 5, 7, 5, usually containing a defined word or phrase that implies the season of the poem.
Gavin Ewart once said 'good light verse is better than bad heavy verse'. Agree. This haiku he wrote... with a distinctly Grecian-autumnal theme... made me laugh:
Haiku: After the Orgies
All the Maenads had
terrible hangovers and
unwanted babies.
