Nice try, Mimi, but no haiku. It's 5-7-5, ALWAYS. If you don't want to do haiku, do something else, but don't call it haiku if it doesn't fit the pattern - that's what haiku is all about, a pattern, the same pattern, many thousands of years of the same pattern.<BR>If you want to write poetry, that's one thing. If you want to write haiku, that's another. You Americans think you can mess with anything. You can't. End of story, Imperialists.
