Is the romance era gone? Yes, it is.

clouds, chased by the wind
are like dreams
to the moon

Romance seems dead, everything is about hookups but I want a man to wrestle an alligator on my behalf

I think some of posters here should lighten up on Elafina's haiku attempt. She at least made the effort ... and I think it was well done. The metaphor she used was beautiful and conveyed the thought perfectly.

Getting obsessed on the proper haiku form reminds me of my of Catholic prep school days where in Composition and Rhetoric we were hounded down like Jean Valjean by the relentless and obsessive Javert if we violated the rules of form.

And hey, it's Sunday, give the girl a break!

@samanthasmokes i agree about Sunday :)
But no worries, i'm not offended or discouraged like that, i like learning especially things i don't know! ;)

@elafina Big hugs to you! And keep on composing ... you have the soul of a poet ... and it's worthy enough to share with others.

@YukikoAmagi it fills in the time while looking for bigger fish!

@elafina

If you can express a feeling or thought in haiku ... I guarantee you that romance is still alive. After all, what is the heart of romance? Is it not like a haiku? The metaphor of one soul to another?

That's nice, but not a haiku.

@Lostpoet it's not supposed to appear like one sentence..but if you say so ☺️

@elafina What? I just meant the structure isn't a haiku it doesn't follow these rules.

There are only three lines, totaling 17 syllables.
The first line is 5 syllables.
The second line is 7 syllables.
The third line is 5 syllables like the first
