Hand trying to grasp
Dreams that was lost in darkness
Yet only caught air
What is the difference between traditional haiku and freestyle haiku
Traditional haiku must follow a pattern, 5-7-5 (five syllables in the first line, seven in the second line and five in the last line with a total of 17 syllables). In freestyle, there is no set amount of syllables. The idea there is to catch the spirit rather than the form of the original Japanese art form.
