Great! I cannot write poetry, but I can count syllables. If I can write a haiku, anyone can. ;-)
I read that the Japanese Haiku are more strict on the syllables and seems to veer away from the exact count in English. That was good news for me, however, its better to do it like the Japanese.
I used to write some poetry and it was mostly to my family members on special occasions, etc. I wish I could put my fingers on them at the moment but can’t. Pack-rat that my husband turned me into (really he made me one) so I would be more like him....LOL~~He was the King of Pack-ratting! But, do you know he could find anything he wanted in just a few minutes? I can’t do that!
