Alright, if there's haikus, here's a little More-You-Know.

Traditional haikus follow the famous 5-7-5 patterns with the number of sounds in each sentence. But there's also non-traditional haikus that use more or less sounds in each sentence, but always following the idea of the middle sentence being the longest. For example, 6-7-5 or 5-8-5.

So not following the 5-7-5 pattern all the time is fine.

-Yang's: ............................
