Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

The syllable rule isn't hard and fast. But what a haiku should have is an unexpected half-twist at the end. It can have four-eight-five, or seven-four-six, but it should 'haiku.' I know it when I read it, but writing it is harder than you'd think.

I suck at haiku. I'm never any good at writing it, plus I read it really stilted and count all they syllables.

The blahblah continues here.
