Kimo poems are an Israeli/Hebrew version of haiku. Apparently, there is a need for more syllables in Hebrew. That said, most of the rules are still familiar:

3 lines.

No rhymes.

10 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second, and 6 in the third.

Also, the kimo is focused on a single frozen image (kind of like a snapshot). So it’s uncommon to have any movement happening in kimo poems.
