Technically, a Haiku can be a non-rhyming poem consisting of 17 syllables or fewer. The 5-7-5 rule is a formula used in American schools, to simplify the form. So yes, Marc - your poem in 17 syllables (I counted) and a Haiku - and a lovely one at that!

Thanks Rita :) I just give it a try, thanks for the info.

The taste of exotica appeals immensely, Marc! One small quibble.....I think the correct tense of "Save...." should be "Saves...." Hope this helps. P.

[Marc Marlon Villaflor]

I love food in general, only thing I don't eat is organ meats, yuk! Ha, otherwise, I'll try anything, & mushrooms are my fav.
