Uh-huh...
5 syllables 7 syllables and 5 syllables causes Senryu.
If the Senryu has season word, we call it as "haiku"
(Thus, 5-7 and 5 syllables style poem without season-word
is not 'haiku' but 'senryu').

And this is written, 5-7-5-7 and 7 syllables.
This style is called as "Tanka"(literally which means short poem.
yes, longer style Japanese poem than tanka is called as chouka:
longer poem).

This is is not haiku style but tanka style.

Would someone remove "haiku" tag and add a tag of "tanka" ,
or shall I ignore such a pedantry difference to keep silence
against like global-standard misunderstandings?
