I received a haiku from a friend that broke from what I understood to be the correct 5-7-5 format. So I, of course, checked out the wikipedia entry for haiku.

So now I’ve learned a little more about the structure, ideas, and origin of haiku and will try to add that to my writing. Expect some breaking from the 5-7-5 format, and more topics other than nature, which I admittedly have been focusing on.
