Well I guess there’s the ‘pure’ approach and the watered down western approach. I think I fall somewhere in the middle. I try to fit the 17 syllable structure but given my knowledge of Japanese doesn’t extend much beyond ‘sushi’ I base it on English wording.

It doesn’t look too difficult if you can count to 7 syllables. In my haiku book, they are counting the Japanese syllables rather than the English translation
