I thought Haiku were the creatures in Pacific Rim. Not sure what this is all about

I was seriously into Haiku some years ago and even had some published in the Guardian, but then I read that strictly speaking there was another name in Japanese for these and that Haikus were only of sporting themes.

Don’t know where I read it and how accurate it is but the link above would seem to give the lie to it. :roll_eyes:
