Cowboys chaffing leathers
broncs busting bones
sunset filtered through oak trees
or
Corndogs, cotton candy and coke
jingling gear and leather soap
sparklers bright in the hazy smoke
or
Tanned faces look on
grunts and sweat
bridge traditions of old

What is a haiku?
Five, seven, five syllables.
That is all it takes.

I know I failed math in school, but if I'm not mistaken:
5 + 7 + 5 = 17

yes but the site says up to 17 syllables it does not have to be 5 + 7 + 5
and in alliteritive or rengu style it says that there is no steadfast rule in where the syllables are placed as long as there is a pattern
Also, themed Haiku strung together like the one I wrote above has more lenience in the writing --though that doesn't take away from the fact that I'm obviously not a seasoned Haiku writer
I know I'm not great at Haiku--but what the hell, it's fun anyway.
