17 July 2025, 11:51:59 AM Last Edit: 17 July 2025, 12:47:17 PM by Duke Speedy of Leighton Reason: Six syllables line twice
The excitement of the thud.
Leon delivers,
Old projects revisited.

I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Honourable Duke's syllable count way off! So sorry.
I don't drink coffee to wake up. I wake up to drink coffee.

7-5-7" structure in haiku refers to a non-traditional format where the lines have 7, 5, and 7 syllables respectively, deviating from the common 5-7-5 pattern. While traditional Japanese haiku follows the 5-7-5 morae structure (with adjustments for English translation), the 7-5-7 form is a variation sometimes adopted in English-language haiku, particularly in free-form or modern styles. This structure aims to capture a moment or observation, often with a seasonal reference, in a concise and evocative way.
