In the Spanish, I count 6/8/5, in the Draseléq, I count 5/6/5 (assuming
"ai" is a single syllable, 6/8/6 if not), and in the English, I count
5/6/5.  Don't haikus have to be 5/7/5?  Is there a liason between _todo
es_ and _cae el_?  The English could be fixed by using _there is_
instead of _there's_.

For me, _here_ is a single syllable, with a diphthong /ir=/
