RE: My Entry for Mizu No Oto - Every Image Has Its Haiku - Edition #23 (English)
Still don't get what a haiku is. Seem to write them by accident a lot as that stupid bot likes to point out, but never does it make sense to me.
In current time, a haiku is loosely defined as a poem with three lines of which the first is 5 syllables, the second is 7 and the last is 5 again. Purists will say there's more than that, but in western, English countries, the 5-7-5 pattern is generally recognized as haiku (which is how the bot defines it).
The allure to haiku is to achieve some depth within the confines of the form. Hope this helps.

it is just a simple poem but a lot of work into some of them
The work shows...nicely balanced (conceptually) first and last line
I do not know haiku too...lol
Ya it is just a poem with some rules they are above

Very well then...
If you want to know what a haiku really is, I suggest you to follow the Mizu No Oto weekly posts on my blog. Every week we talk about one of the many aspects of this falsely simple poetry ;)
(Yes, the bot is annoying, I usually answer to it with blasphemies in 5/7/5)
