So I can get away with my western 6-10-5. Yay!

I do remember reading a while back about what you're saying about the 5-7-5.....

To be really honest the 5-7-5 is only a western interpretation of something that is almost impossible to replicate with our alphabet and lingual style.

Haik rule is 5-7-5
Bending rules now. Here I go. 6-10-5
Much better. Am pleased..

Easy.......just lose the ‘the’

Worst follow rules? ...

The best haikus bend the rules ?

The first line is 6 syllables not 5 ?? 'Free market is trash' would make it 5. hence 5-7-5 pattern.

Is this what you are wanting David?.....
