Sorry, the haiku above is in Dutch, I can’t translate this one for you.
I found this (Dutch) haiku on the street in Rotterdam. You will found more haikus at the Karel Doormanstraat in the centre of Rotterdam. This one is written by Paul Uitdenbogaard, he was one of the six price winners of the competition organised by the Centrum voor Beeldende Kunst in 2004.
A haiku is one of the most important modes of Japanese poetry, a late 19th century revision by Masaoka Shiki of the old hokku, the opening verse of a linked verse form, haikai no renga. A traditional hokku consists of a pattern of approximately 5, 7, and 5 morae, phonetic units which only loosely correspond to the syllables of Western languages. It also contains a special season word—the kigo—descriptive of the season in which the hokku was set. Hokku often combine different elements into a unified sensory impression, with a pause (the kireji or "cutting word") at the end of either the first five or second seven morae. Although rarely broken by Japanese hokku poets, these rules are often broken in the later, more "free-form" haiku movement, both in Japanese and in other languages.
