   Maybe you should read up on what haiku actually is.

         17 syllables is too many in English, as Japanese sound units are not comparable. Essentially you’re trying to capture the moment. The links I shared offer a slightly different point of view, the second one is better.

         Thanks Joanne. I have read about the different ways of doing haiku in English. I find the seventeen syllable constraint an interesting challenge, which is why I have decided to follow this English tradition, even though its not after the original Japanese intention. Constraints conceive creativity.
