LOL at Ed.....well I think it is a great start..
they are hard to do...I took out a book at the
library on Haiku and I hated everyone in the book.
I actually think yours is much better than the ones
I read in that authors book...LOL...so keep writing...
syllable count is 5 first line...7 second line...5 last line...
but I had heard there could be a variance on the numbers..
not sure...I will look into it for you Ed...great try..floria

A Haiku in the hand; is worth two in the bush. Or did I confuse this saying with something else?
