5 - 7 - 5

Here is another Haiku, just because, it doesn't relate to my rural/city idea, however it does discuss how the different role that the city has during the day and at night.
I like the contrast between light and dark and the different purposes and people who occupy the city at different times for different reasons.


Day is business time.
Earn. Tire. Unbutton. Spend. Skank.
Night is business time.


I have been told that with Haiku you must stick to the 5 - 7 - 5 syllable format, however, if you pronounce something lazily or differently then you can use an alternate syllable count.
e.g. I have always pronounce business in two syllables even though it should be pronounced with three.
