Haiku has officially a 5-7-5 syllable structure in English.

Haiku's magic.
Haiku's done five-seven-five
or otherwise.

Even Basho the old Japanese haiku master broke the rules of form when it was required.  

Senryu is a form of haiku with a more human touch than traditional haiku. Haiku is an acquired taste.  I acquired it as soon as I saw it for the first time.  It is a poetic expression with endless possibilities like humanism.  I love it as I love humanism.
