      pearls on my glass (5)
      first im-a-gine then diff-er (7)
      if my hai-ku de-fy syll-a-bles (9)

      syllable = pronunciation sound :)

      Thanks Leo, I still couldn't get it. Ain't it about the pronunciation of the sound of vowels? i.e.

      if (1 for i)
      ha-i-ku (3 a, i & u)
      defy (1 for e)
      sylla-ble-s ( 2 a,e)

      Pl help me understand better

      Hey, I agree with Leo...the last line had 9 syllables. Here's how

      if - 1
      my - 1
      hai- 1
      ku -1
      de - 1
      fy - 1
      Sy - 1
      lla - 1
      ble - 1

      wherever you can pick the sound of a vowel, that's a syllable. Hope this helped!

      But nice merge of all the prompts. :)

      Now that I see your comment, I believe, you are taking the count of vowels as syllables... but it's not so, my friend.

      e.g.
      if[1 for i]
      my[1 for the sound I in my]
      haiku[1 for the sound I in hai and 1 for oo in ku]

      Hope this explained better. :)

      Also, Leo, this haiku has the set of 4, 7, 9.

      pearls on my glass* has 4 syllables. But great that you caught the mismatch in syllables.. I couldn't do that. :)

      Leo and Vaishali,

      Ekta did not write "pearls on my glass". She wrote "pearls halt on my glass". That makes 5 syllables.

    Read your post again. Here is my comment in "Haiku"

    Your Haiku is good
    Don’t care about anything
    You write well Ekta

    Hope this complies with the 5-7-5 rule.

      Haiku is a form of poetry, a very short form of expression essentially revolves around nature and its beauty.

      It has a format using syllables i.e 5-7-5

      One has to express everything is those 3 lines only.

      Try, you may like it :)

    Dear SG, LEO & Vaishali

    Wow guys, I am loving it. Your comments not just enable a better understanding of this format but also encourage me even more to write new haikus.

    Thanks so much friends...

    BTW< I intend to write this as haiga. Any such rule for Haiga too?
