1. You made me laugh very much! – but goodness, isn’t your 3rd haiku just a pearl! All the create quite a mood, with different edhes, and finished with such beauty

2. I find myself counting all the time now. Love the counting ones. and agree with Hamish on the last one.

   1. Thanks Janice 🙂

3. Yes, those first two made me smile too – clever idea!

   1. Thanks Jackie 🙂

      1. Birgitta, you asked in the comments on Carpe Diem how the English count syllables but we count them in exactly the same way as the Dutch or Swedish and your haiku fit the pattern perfectly. We don’t have some “free” way of counting – each distinct sound is a syllable. Kristjaan unfortunately is using a computerised syllable counter that is getting it wrong, so his 3/5/3 and 5/7/5 haiku weren’t actually right. So just keep doing what you’re doing!

         1. Thanks a lot Jackie – now I don’t have to wonder about it any longer. Appreciate your comment a lot 🙂

5. This is a poetic form called transliteration which I find irresistible.
