It grows louder. help.

Counting syllables, some would call this haiku. I hate the poetry police, but they've gotten inside my head now. I have to point out there are more rules to haiku than just syllable count. The most essential is imagery. When you have so few words to work with, make sure each one packs a punch of imagery.

Example:
Instead of "there the howl" . . . (2 out of 3 words say very little) . . . try swapping "there the" for an adjective to describe the howl with more intensity. "I am" is also unnecessary. Trade for something more descriptive, like "quickly covering my ears" . . . I think you get the idea.

Haiku is fun! Enjoy!
