bounteous rain fall
quenched perennial parched soil

i withdraw my comment
my sincere regrets
but I have learned
Congrats

I really appreciate your stopping by Lovedly, could you reread again please?
Quenched is a one syllable word
Perennial is a four syllable word
Parched is a one syllable word
Soil is a one syllable word.
I doubt if your complaint is clear to me ,are you saying the syllables are more than seven or less than seven?

yes you do

This is fucking good haiku, thanks brother.

We don't need to be very strict about the 5-7-5 syllable count. They aren't even syllables in Japanese.

What counts is saying something beautiful and profound whilst working within a tight structure.
You have succeeded.

cheers,
Jess
