Thanks, found a good quote from Kerouac about them

“Above all, a haiku must be very simple and free of all poetic trickery and make a little picture and yet be as airy and graceful as a Vivaldi pastorella.” -Jack Kerouac

And as usual the words from the man himself say more than I ever could.

Allen Ginsberg said Kerouac was the only person in the US who knew how to write haiku.
