RE: Entry Mizu No Oto - Every Image Has Its Haiku - Edition #45 (English)
I understand what you want to express: it is the same thing that I felt in front of the scene that I photographed. Everything was in peace and motionless, only the slumbering nutria turned slightly.
Regarding the difference between syllables required for haiku in English and Spanish, we had spoken of it in one of the previous editions: English is a more synthetic language, therefore with a 5/7/5 structure there is a risk of "saying too much"
@bananafish Thank you for your answer and the feeling described understood.
Perhaps it is true you can say too much but it all depends too on the words chosen and the feeling that comes with a certain word and that is personal plus what you lack if you are not a native speaker.
