Math is Hard
And rules are made to be broken
Math is really hard
5 is not less than or equal to 4
This is a haiku
----
Yes, I know line two is 10 syllables so this doesn't qualify as a haiku. But I say it is a haiku. Rules, schmules. Who cares about the rules?

Istanbul is a city bristling with life, a place where past and present, sacred and profane, intertwine under the watchful gaze of the Sultan Ahmet Mosque. As I explore this crossroads of cultures with Maya, my nine-year-old niece and the daughter of my late brother-in-law Frank, and my wife Nadia, Frank's sister, I find myself on a journey not just through Istanbul's history, but also into the depths of my own beliefs. Staying with Maya and her mother Elvan, my sister-in-law, I begin to see the city anew through their eyes, and to understand why James Baldwin said it "revived" him.

It's funny that this was kicked from the challenge for not meeting syllable requirements. Guess they want tk pay attention this time but not all the other times beforehand. I say, edit it a bit, and resubmit it.
Math is hard at times, but given the chance it can be quite fun. I always liked the vocabulary of math not the calculation part.
Not too hard if you really have the interest for it
"Math is Hard" is a sentiment that resonates with many, reflecting the challenges and complexities often associated with the subject. While math can indeed pose difficulties, it's essential to recognize that this perception is not a reflection of one's abilities, but rather a common sentiment stemming from various factors.
Well said!
This is humorous
hahaha
I just read all the Short and Sweet comments. Now I get it! 🤣 👏
Embracing challenges, math's beauty unfolds; rules spark innovation.

Reminds me of the Magritte painting of a pipe with the words painted under it saying, "Ceci n'est pas une pipe."

Yes Queen! Congrats on Top Story!! 😍
Rules, who needs them. Besides if you subtract the number of syllables from the first line (10-5 = 5) then because it was line two that was in error you add two(5+2) thus equaling 7.
