Um...5/7/6. WTF?!?
5/7/6? What are you talking about? of (1) a (1) meal (1) con-quered (2)
1+1+1+2=5.
...besides, while syllabic discipline keeps us true to the immediacy and simplicity of haiku, I believe we can stray from the letter of the law and still follow its spirit.
a child on this train
sweeps her hair under a wool hat;
leaves blow through our platform
I was counting meal as two sylablles, but your right, the rules have to serve the poem, not the other way around.
