Re: January Haiku Contest: Discussion Thread.
Can a haiku have more than one stanza? Or is it just one set of 5-7-5?

Both Ith and Morwen's haikus only have 6 syllables in the second line...

Re: January Haiku Contest: Discussion Thread.
I hope I got the phonetics right in mine.
In haiku, it's how it's pronounced, not how it's spelled. I think frankie can't even speak.

Re: January Haiku Contest: Discussion Thread.
Hmm... I'll concede the points, if only because Haikus are not my familiarity.
Edit: I still don't see it. You two care to break down your second lines in here? I'm curious.

Re: January Haiku Contest: Discussion Thread.
No arguing about the Haiku's, its only for fun.
And on and syllables are different, but its the closest comparrison for those who don't know the difference or are unfamiliar with them.
