Haiku are traditionally written with 5 syllables on the first line, 7 on the second, and 5 on the third.

Here is an example of one of Kobayashi Issa's (one of the most famous haiku poets) haiku:

ちりめんの猿がいさむや梅の花
chirimen no saru ga isamu ya ume no hana
(Translation: Cloth (cherimen) monkey in high spirits, plum blossoms)

It would be divided like this by syllables:

ちりめんの - chi ri me n no
猿がいさむや - sa ru ga i sa mu ya
梅の花 - u me no ha na

Japanese syllables are called "mora". Generally, if you break down a Japanese phrase into hiragana, each character is one mora. Small "tsu" is a mora, as well, but small "ya", "yu", and "yo" are not counted as separate mora.

An example of a haiku in English is:

A typhoon has gone
looking up at the night sky
thinking of my son

The syllables here are:
A ty phoon has gone
Loo king up at the night sky
Thin king of my son
