So...
I'm gonna post a three liner piece of writing..
hah!!
well..there's also a story behind it.
I'd written this an year back..Actually i was searching for a poetry site to publish my very first poem (as suggested by my friends) . I encountered with a site called "Fanstory" . I made an account on it .
You Can confirm My account here : Fanstory
Now, it was the step to post my poem. I , Very excitedly, clicked on "WRITE" option on my profile and opted the "poem" option from the list. Then , it was like boomm.. A page appeared asking for Up-gradation of the membership to post poems or any other kind of writing & it was a PAID up-gradation with an amount of few dollars. Now, who's gonna pay and indulge in so many formalities to publish just ONE poem and HOW !!
So, i just dropped the idea to publish my poem there and thought of searching any other FREE OF COST site.
I was just about to log out when my eyes went on a link saying somethings like "5-7-5 poetry contest".
I clicked on the link and saw an opportunity to post my poet for free without knowing the significance of this "5-7-5 poetry" ( Such a Kid i was ! ).
I just submitted my poem as the contest entry. I started getting reviews from the senior poets. Man ! They were ( are) really matured poets and really really wonderful ones. Instead of laughing at my stupidity, they very calmly and helpfully made me understand that it was a contest for a special kind of writing called "5-7-5 or Haiku" . I can't post ,like ANYTHING here.
They made me understand that HAIKU is a special kind of writing with 3 lines and 17 Syllables. OMG ! What are these syllables now ?? ( I'd understood that this poetry world is not for me ,lol)
Still, i asked them, they answered me but it all went up from my head !!
Atlast, I concluded, Syllables = Words . ( Height of Dumbness).
So, i replaced my POEM with HAIKU with my RULES !! hah!
SO, My HAIKU writing was as below :

SO, My HAIKU writing was as below :
Was Sitting Around and Thinking,
Will My life raise or keep sinking ??
Answer is hidden , Eyes Blinking !!
Will My life raise or keep sinking ??
Answer is hidden , Eyes Blinking !!
Wow ! What a writer i am na ?? :P
So i replaced my contest entry with this one.
Guess what happened next??
Exactly!! IT was not a HAIKU .
HAIKU is a piece of writing with 5-7-5 symmetry mean 3 liner and 17 SYLLABLE writing and not a 17 WORD writing. Even After a lot of efforts from 2-3 poets , i didn't get the meaning of SYLLABLE.
Finally, a Heartful poet helped me out of my mistakes, he corrected my writing and made it a HAIKU :
Sitting and thinking
Will life raise or keep sinking
My eyes keep blinking
Will life raise or keep sinking
My eyes keep blinking
Since that day till now, I'm still not 100% sure about what SYLLABLES really are but i got to learn a new STyle of writing that i'll never FORGET, i.e, " HAIKU" And a Real fact that SYLLABLES are never Equal to WORDS !! huh
