I'm reading the haiku's in English, and some of them seem to not fit the 5, 7, 5 syllable pattern. Are they originally written in a different language? Regardless, I love reading them!!

Hello! Thank you very much for your comment and your kind words about my haiku.

I write freestyle-haiku (most of the time) but I love 5-7-5 haiku too. Freestyle haiku (3-5-3 or 4-6-5 or 2-2-2 or ...) are very common today.

Aha! That makes more sense now... I've never thought about writing them with less than 5,7,5. Thank you for the clarification (and inspiration)!(:
