Haiku, tanka, and senryu are all forms of Japanese poetry, but they differ in structure and tone. Haiku typically consists of three lines with a 5-7-5 syllable pattern and often focuses on nature. Tanka has a 5-7-5-7-7 syllable pattern and allows for more emotional or personal subject matter. Senryu also has a 5-7-5 syllable pattern but focuses on human nature and often includes humor or satire.
Sonnets are fourteen lines long, usually divided into an eight line octet and a six-line sestet (often with a change of subject or perspective between them called a volta), or alternatively into three four-line quatrains and a rhyming couplet.
Haiku are much shorter poems, often containing three lines of 5, 7 and 5 syllables (or when in Japanese, what passes for syllables in that language). Classic haiku do not develop an intellectual theme as sonnets tend to do, but rather provide a snapshot of an image, often from nature, which illustrates or gives rise to reflection on, a more abstract principle.
The subject of a senryu is usually based on human nature, while a haiku is based on nature. A senryu is most often satirical or ironic while haiku is more serious.
Senryu, tanka, cinquain, and renga are all forms of poetry similar to a haiku, often characterized by a specific structure or syllable count.
