I still don’t know what a haiku is and everyone I’ve tried to understand it I get confused about why they are appealing. I wish I could get in on the thing that you seem to naturally understand.
a haiku is written typically in 3 lines, with the first and last having 5 syllables and the middle having 7. Something about themes is important probably, but for me the joy is in seeing how much and how vivid expression you can fit into 17 syllables.
If the earth is round then why did my wife leave me and take the kids?
Ooo, one syllable off
