Thank you Barbara

Yes you are right it is 5/6/5 but many of us are under the misconception that the haiku has to be 5/7/5. I was also under this impression until I read some great haiku that do not strictly conform to the 5/7/5 format. Great writers of the haiku have also suggested this as long as it remains within 17 syllables. Of course, the 5/7/5 format is the perfect format. Thanks for reading and commenting ... Leonard
