Of mountains in early spring

Immortals defy death.

Haiku is a type of short form poetry that originated in Japan. Traditional Japanese haiku consist of three phrases composed of 17 phonetic units (called on in Japanese, which are similar to syllables) in a 5, 7, 5 pattern;[1] that include a kireji, or “cutting word”;[2] and a kigo, or seasonal reference.
