All 17 syllables were there. I looked at some haiku when I was in junior class in the 90’s and several of them didn’t have that five seven five pattern. I had to pick out a poem I liked so I picked one out at random. I wish it would’ve occurred to me to look for limericks in the textbook instead because the professor asked me why I chose the poem, and I told her I just chose the poem at random. The book has one limerick in it; and if I would’ve chosen that, I could’ve told her I liked the humor.
