It is English.

Oh!

You count 5-7-5 sounds(?) on these three lines.

More exactly saying,
The first line, [SSS], sounds like this → ♪・♪・♪
The second line,[I will enjoy] sounds → ♪・♪♪・♪・♪
The third line is the same as the first → ♪・♪・♪

But this is my own inner feelings / sense.
I don't know it goes or not.

Is there anyone who knows about English Haiku here ?

〉Hi, I'm ako.

Hello! Highness!

〉I'd like to try it,,,but I don't know the rule of English Haiku.

I googled it,
and I found it,
and I was suprised.

I read this site.
[url:http://www.ahapoetry.com/keirule.htm]

I quote from that site.

=======================================================
When poets started writing English haiku in the 1950's,
they adopted this 5-7-5 form, thinking it created a
similar condition for English-language haiku. This style
is what is generally considered "traditional" English haiku.
-------------------------------------------------------
( umum, I see )

=======================================================
Over the years, however, most haiku poets in North America
have become aware that 17 English syllables convey a great
deal more information than 17 Japanese syllables
-------------------------------------------------------
(oh!)

=======================================================
and have come to write haiku in fewer syllables,
-------------------------------------------------------

=======================================================
something in the vicinity of 11 English syllables is a
suitable approximation of 17 Japanese syllables,

As to the form, some American poets advocate writing
in 3-5-3 syllables or 2-3-2 accented beats.

This style is called by some "free-form" haiku.
-------------------------------------------------------

You see ?

When I read this,
I was surprised.

Very interesting!

〉You count 5-7-5 sounds(?) on these three lines.

Your poem(?) is 3-4-3 syllables.
It is like 3-5-3.

〉More exactly saying,
〉The first line, [SSS], sounds like this → ♪・♪・♪
〉The second line,[I will enjoy] sounds → ♪・♪♪・♪・♪
〉The third line is the same as the first → ♪・♪・♪

Oh,you get it by yourself.
It is about accent-beats.

〉But this is my own inner feelings / sense.

Your inner feeling is very genuis.

Hello,this is J.Kerouac.

"J"stands for not"Jack" but "Japanese".

American Kerouac says

"The American Haiku is not exactly the Japanese
Haiku. The Japanese Haiku is strictly disciplined
to seventeen syllables but since the language
structure is different I don't think American
Haikus (short three-line poems intended to be
completely packed with Void of Whole) should worry
about syllables because American speech is
something again...bursting to pop.

Above all, a Haiku must be very simple and free
of all poetic trickery and make a little picture
and yet be as airy and graceful as a Vivaldi
Pastorella."
Jack Kerouac

Simple&Free!
Simple&Free!!
Simple&Free!!!

P.S.
Please give me NO.4
Because KAIINBANGOU NO.4 is Eri Nitta.
