By the way, I thought haikus were 5 syllable, 7 and then 5 ?
hey there crystal. now to answer your question about haiku being 5-7-5 - traditionally (technically speaking) a haiku is structured that way. however the 'western' version doesn't always adhere to that. but the idea is to write the haiku in the same spirit where each line addresses or captures something... specific. When read as a whole, its manifests its own meaning.
A general guideline....
> the first line is a line about 'context', it's a situation or it sets the scene, or an object, a thing - and is usually made up of 5 syllables. > the second line is about 'action', something that occurs in that context, something that happens, materialises, eventuates - and is usually made up of 7 syllables. > the third line is about 'response', a reaction to the above action, a response and subsequent 'action' - this is made up of 5 syllables.
