its such a shame that the good word of "stop using 5-7-5" has not been spread to most of the haiku posters of cohost.

See https://www.nahaiwrimo.com/why-no-5-7-5 for information about why your 5-7-5 haikus are actually too long for a haiku (and also it may be impeding your creativity)

in reply to @spiders's post:

The thing though is that
Although poetry is art
Constraints can help too

Sometimes putting thoughts
In a limited word scale
is part of the fun

Even without the
Eb and flow of nature's theme
We can still see it

Although a new name
Would not be a bad thing, but
That battle was lost
