A Dream Haiku

When we dream of real places
Do we really dream
Or do we haunt the places
[I did warn you all about the bad poetry, right?]

That's an interesting reversal of the typical 5-7-5 syllable form for haiku. A standard form would look like this:

When sleep kisses us
Are the things we dream so real
That we haunt those shores

Most experts agree that there is some flexibility in the haiku form as long as our writings express the complex with simplicity. Keep up the good work. See ya in Jabootu...

Y'know, I completely forgot it was 5-7-5. DENSE, that's what I am. DENSE.

Thank you for the kind words.
