Japanese haiku have been traditionally composed in 5-7-5 syllables. When poets started writing English haiku in the 1950's, they adopted this 5-7-5 form, thinking it created a similar condition for English-language haiku. This style is what is generally considered "traditional" English haiku.
Over the years, however, most haiku poets in North America have become aware that 17 English syllables convey a great deal more information than 17 Japanese syllables, and have come to write haiku in fewer syllables, most often in three segments that follow a short-long-short pattern without a rigid structure. This style is called by some "free-form" haiku.

Warm under blanket,
Watching thunder and lightning. The chattering rails. ... Leaping silver fish, Reflecting trees and grasses? It was a fish-hook! ... Taking a shower, Behind the net, a gecko, Asking for a wash! ... See amnesia's leaves, Caress my hands as they dance. How long stirs the branch? | |
