A double haiku is a series of two consecutive haikus that are related in theme or subject matter. Each haiku consists of three lines with a 5-7-5 syllable pattern, resulting in a total of six lines in the double haiku.
A haiku sequence is a series of haiku poems that are thematically connected. It typically consists of three or more haiku that are related to each other in subject matter, imagery, or emotion. The individual haiku in the sequence may be able to stand alone but together they create a more complete picture or story.
