Haïdjin
Haïdjin : also called haikist, this term is used to indicate that or that which writes a Haïku: a short poem of Japanese origin of 17 more S. In the beginning, the poets met to write continuations of poems collectively: rengas in the form of succession of Tanka S of 28 mores composed of a Hokku of 17 mores and a Verse of 14 mores
Bashô had the first the idea to insulate the modules and to preserve only that of 17 mores, which one called the hokku or the Hakaï. Its disciple will baptize the module obtained with a new name: the haïku. The Western haîdjins generally write to them haïku in the form of a tercet of 3 worms respectively of 5,7, and 5 feet. To simplify the Western haikists generally 17 syllables hope distributed out of three lines: in short/long /bref. The haiku must also give a concept of season (the Kigo and must comprise a Césure (the Kireji). If the haïku indicates neither season, nor moment partticulier, it will be called a Moki
