Nice one Ocean. I'm confused - everything I read says that the Haiku is written with 5 moras (syllables) in the first and 3rd line and 7 in the 2nd line. I corrected mine because of that but I notice others haven't so is the 5 - 7 - 5 rhythm not right?

thank you for your comments SM, to be fair I'm more a Chopin guy than Mozart, I need more education in that area :)
Hi Kathy, I only interpret what I see on the internet which is yes 3 lines, 5 syllables first, 7, 5 but I think people have departed from that as the effect is the most important. I try to keep it to 5,7,5 as it provides an enjoyable challenge.
