The year's end draws near /
Autumn leaves these trees threadbare /
Life's metaphor talks //
5-7-5
Haiku a Japanese poetry format....classical based on 17 syllables in three lines 5-7-5 or 10 syllables in 3-4-3 format.
By syllables in English based Haiku, we are talking of the syllables in each word...like Water is 2 sylabbles wa+ ter, Harmony has 3 syllables har+mo+ny.
Some modern poets don't stick to syllable style.

Glad you made it this far...would love to hear your take on the words scribbled. A comment every now and then keeps the blues away. :D
Since, crazy Mr. Blogspot won't let me reply to the comments here (is upset with the water ladies ever since they refused to verify visitors)...will do the next best thing, drop in to your blog to say my Vanakkam/Namaste/Salaam/Hello.
