Japanese poem (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

haiku

tanka

'japanese poem' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for haiku that I've seen before include "ode" , "Japanese 3-line poem of 17 syllables" , "Seventeen-syllable Japanese poem" , "Short Japanese poem" , "Jap. 17-syllable verse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times, The Independent, the Penny Press, The Times, The Telegraph and the Newsday.
