You found the answer;

@jkbarnes

Drew. Would you mind editing your starter post to explain what a haiku is, please. I will look it up on line, but it would be good to have it explained at the top of the thread. I don't think it's there.

Is it just 17 syllables as described, it is there more to it?

@JAFO

1st line: 5 syllables
2nd line: 7
5rd line: 5

Read the ones TB and I wrote, slowly, counting as you go.
