Haiku in English circular form (sometimes known as "cirku") whereby the poem has no fixed start or end point. In the "zip" form developed by John Carley, a haiku of 15 syllables is presented over two lines, each of which contains one internal caesura represented by a double space. A fixed-form 5-3-5 syllable (or 3-5-3 word) haiku is sometimes known as a "lune". The leading English-language haiku journals published in the U.S. include "Modern Haiku", "Frogpond" (published by the Haiku Society of America), "Mayfly" (founded by Randy and Shirley Brooks in 1986), "Acorn" (founded by A. C. Missias in 1998), "Bottle Rockets" (founded
Haiku in English and Paul Muldoon in Ireland and Britain) and others have tried their hand at haiku. In 1963 the journal "American Haiku" was founded in Platteville, Wisconsin, edited by the European-Americans James Bull and Donald Eulert. Among contributors to the first issue were poets James W. Hackett, O Mabson Southard (1911–2000), and Nick Virgilio. In the second issue of "American Haiku" Virgilio published his "lily" and "bass" haiku, which became models of brevity, breaking down the traditional 5-7-5 syllabic form, and pointing toward the leaner conception of haiku that would take hold in subsequent decades. "American Haiku" ended publication in 1968
