(Shawn bows humbly)
Very nice. Haiku is always in three lines ?
Generally yes.
The traditional Japanese form has a specific syllable count per line: 5 in the first, 7 in the second, 5 in the third.
In English, we have a little lee-way, but I generally like to follow the traditional form.
Okay , this is great do it have any other rules ? If I want to say a Haiku , should I just write three lines ?
3 lines with the correct syllable count.

I felt the heartbreak in your poem. I can imagine the awful breakup between a once loving couple. I want to cry. So beautifully sad.
Ah, but so very long ago. The wound was very shallow and it thoroughly healed.
Good to hear that you’ve healed, Shawn. Beautiful and heartbreaking haiku.
Very, very, very long time ago. 😉
Isn’t it funny how our past experiences make for great writing? Of course, during the actual event, it’s pretty dang crappy!
Yes, it is not infrequent to observe, “You know, this is going to make a GREAT story.” It helps relieve some of the stress at the time! lol
Wow! I felt this little pinch in my heart! I’d hug you right now if I were there with you! Lovely :’)
lol Thanks. Don’t worry, that particular moment was long ago and far away.
Coming from someone whose felt this as well (me), a hug never goes waste! But good to hear that! Many smiles and cheers! 🙂
lol True enough!
🙂
