Yesterday's Answer, Today's Question

Yesterday's Answer:


The country of China was once known as Cathay.

Unfortunately, Blogger hasn't been letting me upload pictures, just links, for a few days. I hope the illustrations stay but they may not. Eventually I will check back and try again.

Today's Question:


How many syllables are in a traditional verse of haiku?


I think it goes 7-5-7 which would equal 19. I know the pattern is right but I believe it may be 5-3-5.
