At first I thought this was a haiku. But it's clearly has 4, 7 and 3 syllables. What am I looking at?
i dunno why we got that as our banner
i guess it was picked by someone who doesn't come here or understand the board culture
That motherfucker is 5, no?
If Billy Shakes can say fuck off to the rules of sonnet writing, we can make our own haiku rules.

A haiku - just not a western haiku.
>tfw people still don't even kind of understand Haiku even though they're so simple
>all these anons thinking that what makes a haiku a haiku is the 5-7-5 pattern
Read "The Haiku Form" by Jean Giroux. It's on LibGen, it's short but also well-written and researched.
And that quote on OP's picture is not a haiku desu

It's not an haiku wherever you are
It's a senryu but with experimental syllables.
It's a lowku. Or maybe a byeku.

It is a haiku.
It's not syllable count, but mora count.
A syllable with a long vowel or a a consonantal ending is two moræ.
5-7-5 moræ. There's no problem.
Of course, English doesn't work like Japanese or Greek but whatever.

Freeverse Haiku
Whether its a Haiku or not its a shitty banner, which is good since it will discourage professional memers crossboarding
