Haiku: Three-line poetry Syllables go 5-7-5 Refrigerator .. Er, something like that. Anywho, let's review the options you have : a. Stanzas are spaced out groupings of lines. (with a space between each group) A haiku can be viewed as only one stanza. The 'free verse' part is true, though; no rhyming or rhythm required. b. Couplet is a term for a stanza of 2 lines. 2 couplets X 2 lines = 4 lines. A haiku only has 3, and those lines are in one stanza. c. No need for rhyming, as you could see :) d. Triplet part is true, and nature part is also, in traditional forms of haiku. The Japanese who invented the art form often contemplated the nature of leaves and the swirling of seas. Very philosophic. Hope that explained everything!
