  #### <center>*Earth becoming parched*</center> #### <center>*Dry grounds started cracking*</center> #### <center>*Dust remained unsettled*</center>   --- ### <center>*What is the difference between traditional haiku and freestyle haiku*</center>   ***Traditional** haiku must follow a pattern, 5-7-5 (five syllables in the first line, seven in the second line and five in the last line with a total of 17 syllables). In **freestyle**, there is no set amount of syllables. The idea there is to catch the spirit rather than the form of the original Japanese art form.*  <center>*Image Source: [Pixabay](https://pixabay.com/en/desert-drought-composing-dehydrated-279862/)*</center>  <center></center> <center></center> <a href="https://smartsteem.com?r=chrislyr" target="_blank"><img src="https://smartsteem.com/static/smartsteem_banner.gif" /></a>
