There are 17 syllables in a haiku, written in a 5-7-5 pattern. How do I know that? I'm a teacher; poetry is inevitably one of the writing units we teach. On trivia night at my favorite sports bar a few weeks back, I scored a point for my team by answering that question correctly.

Broken soul halts sleep
Dawn comes bearing hopeful minds
Deep breath, actor, me
Today I needed a mental health day. Wistful thinking...
