Gypsy,
My dictionary online notes three syllables for diamond, which makes your middle line right.
Not quite sure I would agree with the 'diamond' web design. A mathematician might argue for a different pattern.

Thank you
It's not a 'web' design, it's the condensation drops on the web that look like diamonds...you have never seen it?
diamond has two syllables...
Dictionary:. diamond
[ dahy-muhnd)
And...
How many syllables.com in diamond? 2 syllables
Divide diamond into syllables: dia-mond

Gypsy,
I am OK with your reply. In my mind it sort of sounds like two, but the MerriamWebster online dictionary I use disputes that:
diamond noun, often attributive

di·a·mond | ˈdī-(ə-)mənd

b : crystallized carbon produced artificially
2 : something that resembles a diamond (as in brilliance, value, or fine quality)
3 : a square or rhombus-shaped figure usually oriented with the long diagonal vertical

Either way it's 17 syllables or less so I don't see what's the big deal. You just like arguing with me.

This is a great presentation, Gypsy. I like the color scheme, the perfect image, and the alliteration of s. Your well thought out words paint their own picture for readers. Good job with the syllable count.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

If you look close enough you can see Gods work in all things, even the small, insignificant things. A gem of a haiku Gypsy. The image and poem work very well together.

"Light Through Window", is short, succinct and delightfully descriptive. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. I look forward to seeing your next post.

Comment from Mike Stevens
Another fine poem, Gypsy--and the ones that spin webs and hang out don't freak me out, it's those big hairy bastards that come out right about this time of year and scare the shit out of you when they move that do; I HATE those things!

Comment from Jesse James Doty
You made me laugh with this one, my friend.
The third line is funny and, I don't think it is a pun per se, just a humorous observation.
I like the description of the light shining through making diamonds on the web.
I don't have too many spiders in my home, but the ones that come are fascinating.
Have a lovely afternoon,
Jesse

Thank you, Jesse. It's supposed to be humorous but in a haiku way that makes you think. I don't have many spiders either but I agree with you, they are fascinating and they are good for us in that they eat other insects.
Extra gypsy hugs

Yes, I forgot that they eat other insects. They sure are fun to watch. I had one fall on my face while I was trying to go to sleep the other night.
That was not unexpected since I had seen it on the ceiling earlier, but still, not a lot of fun.
Anyway, have a wonderful evening, and thanks for the Gypsy hugs.

Comment from Adam Coleson Horsky
I think the first line is only 4 syllables. I see in the bio, however, that it says it can be less. I think it's a nice poem. However, I think the meaning may be going over my head. Is it about the beauty of a spiderweb that the homeowner is grateful they did not get rid of? If it is I think that's beautiful. Good poem :D

It's a humorous way to say that the spider is lucky because the house owner doesn't clean much so she won't be bothered. The point of haiku is to have a twist on the last line, without spelling it out. It's supposed to make you think. English haiku doesn't have to be 5/7/5 because syllables in Japanese are different than English syllables.
Thank you very much for taking the time to review my haiku.

Comment from lyenochka
Lol! That's funny! Yes, there are benefits to not being such a fastidious housekeeper. You can find lost things and you can see the beauty of dewdrops in the spider webs.

I do clean but I do let the spiders do their thing in the garden. Unfortunately, they like trying the catch humans at the front door.

We have two grandchildren that see rather well, and they are both, meticulous in their observational skills, and never fail to point out the cobwebs in our house, well done Gypsy, an excellent post, blessings Roy
