If time permits, I may try using a translation program to produce Japanese versions of the #BokeHaiku I post. Because I don't speak Japanese, I am certain they will be howlingly bad.
If you speak Japanese and want to try your hand at translations, I'd welcome them.

Other are, of course, free to mark their posts with #BokeHaiku. (How could I stop you?)
I would ask that, if you use that mark, and you post in English, you adhere to the 3/5/3 syllable structure. (But, again, how could I stop you?)

If I can figure out how to do it, I'll make it a Feed.
