Human nature, can be so bad at times. Great haiku, but I am sure you meant hearsay, heresay, (typo?), is 3 syllables and not recognized as word, even with poetic license, the former 2 and is in context with your haiku. nearly didn't place it, benefit of doubt given. Thanks for participating... Mick

Yes, thank you for the benefit of the doubt. You taught me a few things with this contest I did not previously know about titles and punctuation in haiku. Thanks for sponsoring this contest.
