<BR>Started observing<BR>Did not want to interfere<BR>But correctors need correcting<BR><BR>Ok, so I'm the first to admit that I am a HORRIBLE haiku writer. But I had to jump in to defend the non-5-7-5 writers, particularly from those posters who were both wrong AND vitriolic.<BR><BR>A TRADITIONAL haiku has two elements: a 5-7-5 structure, and a seasonal reference. <BR><BR>There are many, many other guidelines about what makes a haiku a "real" haiku, but 5-7-5 and a seasonal reference are both necessary-but-not-sufficient elements of a TRADITIONAL haiku. It doesn't make much sense to insist on one element without even mentioning the other.<BR><BR>There are, however, probably MORE non-traditional haikus in existance than traditional ones (even among "real" poets in Japan).
