    Typically, ''traditional'' haikus are made up of three lines - and are split up in syllables for each line - 5/7/5. I think my haiku above is 5/7/6 because ''everyday'' I think is four syllables. :bigcry:

    I just looked it up because you got me curious. Its 3 syllables. Dictionary.com and google agrees with me. :p

    And, vampire folklore

    *Pete sitting in his chair outside looking at active ant hill*

    Ants are on their way.
    Will leave the hill to find prey.
    Or new place to stay.

    I just thought a Haiku rhyme would be a creative challenge.
    Watch..... it probalby breaks Haiku law.

    Is it more Haiku to do the?

    5 words/syllables
    7 words/syllables
    5 words/syllables

    Or ?


    5 syllables
    7 syllables
    5 syllables

    Is it right to do
    Or Is it not right to do
    That is the main thought.

    Trick or treat, goblins and ghosts
    Drink some witch's brew
