You count 5-7-5 sounds(?) on these three lines.

More exactly saying,
The first line, [SSS], sounds like this → ♪・♪・♪
The second line,[I will enjoy] sounds → ♪・♪♪・♪・♪
The third line is the same as the first → ♪・♪・♪

But this is my own inner feelings / sense.
I don't know it goes or not.

Is there anyone who knows about English Haiku here ?

〉Hi, I'm ako.

Hello! Highness!

〉I'd like to try it,,,but I don't know the rule of English Haiku.
〉Is it the same with Japanese Haiku ?

I googled it,
and I found it,
and I was suprised.

I read this site.
[url:http://www.ahapoetry.com/keirule.htm]

I quote from that site.

=======================================================
When poets started writing English haiku in the 1950's,
they adopted this 5-7-5 form, thinking it created a
similar condition for English-language haiku. This style
is what is generally considered "traditional" English haiku.
-------------------------------------------------------
( umum, I see )

=======================================================
Over the years, however, most haiku poets in North America
have become aware that 17 English syllables convey a great
deal more information than 17 Japanese syllables
-------------------------------------------------------
(oh!)

=======================================================
and have come to write haiku in fewer syllables,
-------------------------------------------------------

=======================================================
something in the vicinity of 11 English syllables is a
suitable approximation of 17 Japanese syllables,

As to the form, some American poets advocate writing
in 3-5-3 syllables or 2-3-2 accented beats.

This style is called by some "free-form" haiku.
-------------------------------------------------------

You see ?

When I read this,
I was surprised.

Very interesting!

〉You count 5-7-5 sounds(?) on these three lines.

Your poem(?) is 3-4-3 syllables.
It is like 3-5-3.

〉The second line,[I will enjoy] sounds → ♪・♪♪・♪・♪

Oh,you get it by yourself.
It is about accent-beats.

Your inner feeling is very genuis.

Thank you very much for telling me & all of Rom-members of this BBS !

("ant-like" is ako-language. I usually call small English letters Arinko-moji in Japanese)
