  9. 4 Sensory Description Haiku are based on the five senses. They are about things you can experience, not your interpretation or analysis of those things.

  10. 5 Practice Like any other art, haiku takes practice. Basho said that each haiku should be a thousand times on the tongue. It is important to distinguish between pseudo-haiku that says whatever the author thinks in a 5-7-5 syllable pattern and literary haiku that adheres to the use of season words, a two-part juxtapositional structure, and primarily objective sensory imagery.
