The Japanese haiku is defined as a poem of three lines with five syllables in the first line, seven syllables in the second line, and five syllables in the third line. English poets tend to ignore this fact. Disregarding syllable count, they generally call any three-line English poem with a "haiku feel" a haiku. This demonstrates that English poets have little respect for foreign traditions, even those from which some of their own poetry derives. The reasoning is flawed because it ['draws a conclusion that is broader in scope than is warranted by the evidence advanced', 'overlooks the possibility that the case it cites is not unique', 'relies on stereotypes instead of presenting evidence', 'fails to acknowledge that ignoring something implies a negative judgment about that thing']
