Wrong! REALLY WRONG! Myth. 

 

Haiku can be anything with 3 lines.  5/7/5 is just traditional. 

 

https://haikuhaikulove.com/2017/haiku-and-the-myth-of-5-7-5/

 

"We’re haiku amateurs. When we started writing haiku we learned, like everyone else, that haiku was written 5-7-5, that is, to use five syllables on the first line, seven on the second, and five more on the third. But, we also learned soon that this is inaccurate. Here are a few resources that elaborate why, so that you don’t need to wonder anymore whether our haiku are real haiku. (They are—they usually suffer from other problems 😬)

Michael Dylan Welch writes in his very useful Haiku Checklist,

How long is your haiku? It’s usually good to write in three lines of about 10 to 17 syllables. In English, haiku don’t have to be in the pattern of 5-7-5 syllables […]. ..."

That was a test for the strict constructionists! 😉😜 

 

I obviously counted line #1 Beeze as 1 syllable.  Line #3 is 2 as in Beasley.  😉

Never said I did.  In my definition a couple pages back, I cited the Oxford dictionary definition of haiku.  You post some blog as justification for your meanderings.  Your usual modus operandi

The Oxford Dictionary is wrong. Dead wrong. 😏 

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

Next year, we need a remedial haiku thread run a few days before the week before the haiku thread. 🧐🤓

Wow... I must have rocked your world saying that haiku doesn't always have to be 5/7/5....😉 

 

It's not the end of the world.

 

This will probably disturb you even more! 

 

"It is absolutely possible to compose a wonderful haiku using the 5-7-5 formula. But it is important to know that this is not required to call your poem a haiku or for it to be a good one. The essence of haiku does not lie in its syllable count, word count, or the number of lines (all Japanese haiku are written in a single line!)."

 

What's soooo bad about that?
