Sifusufi - this Chain is like a game, and games have certain guidelines and rules. Rules suck i know, but once in awhile when we engage in games, we often try to play by them rules. In here, the game requires a 5-7-5 structure to the Haiku. There is 8 syllables in this second line, so that pushes the game wayward slightly. It happens... i made the error too, a few times in fact. Its not a big deal, but i just wanted to bring your attention to it. Pardon me please for putting it back in line. Cheers!
