<P> Although the word "on" is sometimes translated as "syllable", one on is counted for a short syllable, two for an elongated vowel or doubled consonant, and one for an "n" at the end of a syllable . Thus, the word "haibun", though counted as two syllables in English, is counted as four on in Japanese (ha - i - bu - n); and the word "on" itself, which English - speakers would view as a single syllable, comprises two on: the short vowel o and the moraic nasal n̩ . This is illustrated by the Issa haiku below, which contains 17 on but only 15 syllables . Conversely, some sounds, such as "kyo" (き ょ) may look like two syllables to English speakers but are in fact a single on (as well as a single syllable) in Japanese . </P> <P> In 1973, the Haiku Society of America noted that the norm for writers of haiku in English was to use 17 syllables, but they also noted a trend toward shorter haiku . Shorter haiku are very much more common in 21st century English haiku writing . </P> <P> Some translators of Japanese poetry have noted that about 12 syllables in English approximate the duration of 17 Japanese on . Also in translations four lines is more appropriate for the colloquialism of the language and is closest to natural conversational rhythm, necessary to carry the weight of the hokku </P> <P> A haiku traditionally contains a kigo, a word or phrase that symbolizes or implies the season of the poem and which is drawn from a saijiki, an extensive but prescriptive list of such words . </P>
