5-7-5 and has to deal with nature, not concept.  Pick something physical, like a tree, and describe it physically.  Leave any further thought up to the reader.

Haiku is supposed to create an image that provokes thought without communicating any nonphysical thoughts.  This is, however, a senryu.  

And yes, the syllable count is right.

Hi,.. I think this is a correct Senryu.... Haiku's are usually about Nature.. still the same format though.

Enjoyed this Raphael

Raph, I love this poem whether it's a senryu or a haiku.....

As you can tell by the ones I write, I'm just learning all the correct ways to write both these, so I just call them little "Japanese Verses"....
I know, though, that they are 5-7-5.....

This is rich in meaning--and quite clever!
