You had a most fabulous walk today, especially showing off those Exquisite Lily and my favorite sunflowers. Not me I'm done of course by Ms haiku.
Why did I think I could lose her only one set of syllables, when this one looks like it is a different set? Or am I dreaming?
Thank you for the most wonderful Wednesday walk and I bet you a fine good night
Thank you, Denise:) The 5/7/5 syllable count is a convention and not a defining aspect of haiku. A few blokes got hold of the idea and ran with it and began insisting it defined haiku. Some aficionados would say 5/7/5 is too long ... I hold to haiku being a poem about nature expressed in one breath and generally with a pivot idea/word/phrase.
