Ocean -Haiku

William Henry Mills JR
The ocean blue,
The ground shakes when the waves break,
The sky's reflection

    Stella, if you want to get technical a Haiku is 17 Syllables long broken up between three lines typically in the format of 5 syllables, 7 syllables and 5 syllables at its root form and only about nature and seasons. So it could be displayed in any arrangement of 17 syllables about nature (Rats, flowers, fleas, etc) and down to the root of that Haiku. I've read many Haikus that are three lines with three words total. Thank you for your thoughts and I hope this has answered your question and please come back again soon.

    Isn't the Haiku supposed to be in the 5-7-5 syllable format?
