Only the syllables :) They should be in the order 5-7-5. You can relax the rule though, as long as the syllable count remains less than or equal to 17.
I tried my hand at haikus last year. It was a challenge to keep the syllables to 5-7-5 but then I always love myself a good challenge. A very true haiku you have written. And I absolutely adore the picture you've clubbed it with.
I love it, haikus aren't easy to write, you need to notice the syllables and I don't know what :P

Yep, challenges are fun! Thanks Sania :)
DeleteYou captured a bit of sadness in that little haiku, paired with that cute little photo. Sweet and sad.
