Any haiku lovers ?

Haiku is a form of japnese poem. usually 3 lines of 5-7-5 form, i.e. first line has 5 syllables, second 7 and last has again 5 syllables. But haikus in english do not strictly follow this format.

Some of the famous haiku masters are Basho, Busha, Shiki, Issa and raizan etc.

Many english poets have adapted haiku form to english.

Can any blogger have deeo knowledge of haiku, writes haiku or reviews them or maintain interactive haiku sites ?
