The elements of the Three-Five-Seven are:
written in 3 lines, however the 3 lines may be broken into 6 lines at the caesura.
measured, c

counting words not syllables, L1 6 words, L2 = 10 words, L3 = 14 words (Most Chinese words are mono syllabic, therefore syllable count would be the same as word count in Chinese. Worm has interpreted the criteria to allow for English words that carry more than one syllable.)
each line is broken mid way by caesura, L1 = 3, 3; L2 = 5,5 and L3 = 7,7. Thus the name Three-Five-Seven.
each line carries a parallel, the halves of the line reflect or answer each other.
