With either a Haiku, or a Senryu, you count syllables, David. Syllables are the same as beats —how many beats there are in a line. Your storyline is excellent!
Hello Megan. Yes, there is a difference. Haiku is nature related, while the Senryu is about human nature and its shortcomings and foibles. They do still have the same 5/7/5 syllable structure. I love writing them as they're very challenging. ❤️💕
Thank you for restacking this post of Senryus, @Kevin Nash..
These are fun. I’ll have a go today!
I think these are sweet and funny … love the Napoleon complex 🤗
Thank you, Simone. I love writing them. I’ve always loved a new challenge.

It was a tease, David. I bolded the words of your joke. “Count Dracula Sucks”. I thought it was brilliant actually.

I don't know how to Count = 6 Syllables
Dracula was my math teacher = 8 Syllables
Public schools suck = 4 Syllables

I’m one who can’t Count (5)
Dracula was my teacher (7)
My public school sucks (5)

Challenging, yes, but so much fun to do.
