Dr. Ram Mehta - the only rule I found beyond the 17 syllables is that it is four lines contain 2 to 4 words maximum. Glad you liked it!

This is something new for me vertical haiku, Oh seventeen syllables. Nice write on the theme of post love with nice images, renee. I would like to try one. Is there any fixed rule for syllable in each line?

I see you all found some inspiration while I was not at the Soup this weekend. I enjoyed reading your poetry today and will be back again soon to read more Renee. May you have a week of good health, joy and sunshine to light up your life. Love, Carol

Thanks Harry - I am actually missing one syllable so I need to fix it. However, a vertical haiku is an Americanized style of haiku - 4 lines and containing 17 syllables. I am short one :)
