Flickering of flames

Light about to be snuffed

Soon there is darkness

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.
