Hi Sungjoon, Haiku is 5-7-5, and doesn't need to rhyme. First line is 5 syllables, second is 7 syllables, and the third is 5 syllables. Just don't get addicted like I am!

Haikus? Five letters /

Then they have seven letters /

Then back to the five!

(Just sayin'). ;)

Syllables... which is a hard work to use in a haiku.

Haha.... Yes of course, syllables. Please delete my erroneous Haiku. I know what they are but am obviously prone to dumb mistakes!

Put five syllables /

Then seven for second line /

Then five syllables!

(How's that?)

😉

Darn technology /
Messes up when least expect /
That is my excuse!

Letters/syllables /
Is there a big difference? /
I think that there is!
