'No thank you very much'
is in fact six syllables.
Does it matter?

Does it matter
how many syllables a
haiku has in it?
No. Nor the number of lines.
Re: Haiku Train

I beg to differ.
There are schools of different thought.
Are 'ons' syllables?
If you have more than three lines
does it become a 'Tanka'?

Does it become a
tanka or a lorry in

Hi Marc
I was counting one syllable for each word making five. Is that wrong?
Anyway the Haiku train as I see it is just a bit of fun
And there hasn't been a genuine haiku written here for some time I think
