The Haiku rule of 5-7-5 syllables is not easy in English.
I don't know how easy it is in Japaneses.

It's challenging to write 'proper' Haiku in English that's for sure but that could be part of it's charm. You can get a little emotional, intellectual or spiritual work-out writing Haiku and there is always beauty in it's brevity like your beautiful Haiku above. Not sure what it's like writing Haiku in Japanese as i don't know the language unfortunately. Thank you for sharing
