Adventures of the Dread Pirate Emmeline May

When i was at school
we learnt that a haiku has
certain syllables

the first line has five
the second line has seven
the final line five

the total number
of syllables in haiku
should be seventeen

this competition
has no rules on how many
syllables you need

personally i
think that this is cheating and
makes it too easy

maybe school taught us
wrong and and the rules of haiku
are more flexible

today i want you
to write a haiku and post
it as a comment!
