Seems to be some confusion as to what constitutes a Haiku and what constitutes a Senryu! Both are 5-7-5 syllables but with subtle differences! Do we care! LOL If you show me yours, I'll show you mine!

Hi Jack, I knew it wasn't me but I just couldn't resist an unfettered haiku. Nice to see you guys having some fun so I decided to toss one at ya.

You're welcome to the fray John2! You seem to be somewhat of a Haiku aficionado! Hmmm! That may give you somewhat of an advantage! LOL

the syllable count piled up on the vacant beach cloaked in mystery

YUP 5-7-5! That makes 17! The mystery John is John Wulf in case you were wondering! Cheers!

lol, I like it. haiku's are getting too complicated for me, too many rules, and misdirections, but your little write here is clever. :) hugs

I think this may be classed as a senyru rather than a haiku Jack - made me smile:-) hugs Jan xx

haiku are usually about nature - this fits in the senryu category - I've actually learned something since Ive been here lol :-) Hugs Jan xx
