Question: Are these American Haiku not done in the 5,7,5 format though except 1!?
Rubies dropped,
Splattered across floor,
Mafia Strikes!.

Hand map’s Life’s journey
Line doted paths Placed on hand,
Palm reading complete!.

Spring Dance,
Twirling winds,

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Yes I believe that there are other forms of Haiku and not the 5-7-5 form-- here is one by David Cobb--

across the fields of stubble
flame stalks flame

which is a total of 10 syllables

Here is one by Lee Guiseck

dry well
the dropped stone's
thud

This one consist of 10 syllables!

The spelling part of it neoman was talking about (I think he was referring to) was the word map's maybe should be maps--not sure but that could be what he was referring to!.

I don't know if this did help you --I sure hope so --its lots of fun, and so much to learn! Cheers --I like what you have written above it sure does sound like haiku to me!Www@QuestionHome@Com
