Haiku’s are supposed to go 5 7 5
None of these are Haiku’s by definition, just nice poems.
Here is a Haiku about Mom:
Always there for me
Loving, caring, listening
Knows everything
Al-ways there for me (5)
Lo-ving, car-ing, lis-ten-ing (7)
Knows ev-er-y-thing (5)
Editor’s Note: Thanks for sharing your opinion and poem, Shannon. Serious haiku writers have concluded that the 5 – 7- 5 rule once taught for writing in English misinterprets the Japanese language and often results in awkward poems that have too many words by Japanese standards. Please see my discussion here and here for more on this topic.
