How is that like haiku? Haiku is 5-7-5 syllables. You have 11-10-5.

Or maybe there's a god who's just completely insane and sends you to Detroit, Michigan in a new body if you ever utter the name "Pat Sajak".

I said "like haiku" but not "exactly japan traditional haiku". See the difference.

You know, haiku only seem like disjointed sentences because they are both being translated from a very different language, and people generally try to keep the number of syllables the same even after translation, winding up with very disjointed words.

In Japanese, those haiku are actually supposed to make sense.

If you disregard the syllables, then you're saying any message made up of three sentences is "like haiku", since those are the only distinguishing characteristics of haiku.



Hey, that was like haiku!  :D

Nope. Not a 17-on, no kigo, no kireji. Not even a one of 3 definitions of haiku.

In my message there are 2 of 3 definitions.

So let it be named DWAIKU.
