@The_G.O.A.T Your first example actually did have the 5-7-5 syllable format: The last winter leaves (5) Clinging to the black branches (7) Explode into birds (5) Your second example did not: The greatness of a woman (7) Is only measured by the size of (9) I wonder what it is (6) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Syllables aren't the same as words. Your made-up (second) example had 5-7-5 words, not syllables.

@Yasminelove1 @The_G.O.A.T. Counting syllables is pretty simple. I'll show you. Let's look at the first poem that The_G.O.A.T. posted: The last winter leaves (5 syllables) Clinging to the black branches (7 syllables) Explode into birds (5 syllables) Let's look at the word "winter" in the first line. The word "winter" is only one word, but it actually has two syllables: WIN - TER So, the number of "syllables" isn't always the same as the number of "words," you see. Because "syllables" and "words" are actually two different things.
