RE: [Red-Hearted] Haiku and Mono-Chrome Monday Photography @old-guy-photos
Those petals look like embossed metal. Gorgeous!
Are there different forms of haiku 5/7/5, 5/6/3? Or are the masters allowed to break the norms?
Thank you, Samantha. Most haiku scholars don't hold English haiku to a specific syllable count. The 5/7/5 thing just got legs as it is the way it is taught in public schools. Haiku need only be brief and be about nature, but a pivot line or idea is a really big bonus.
Gotcha. I never mastered that pivot line thing.
