Rules Committee,
If you read all 20 pages of the Haiku Rules, current
and anachronistic, you will not longer be confused by
8-10-2 . Maynard G. Krebs used it all the time and
most modern jack hammers are synchronized to this beat
because the resonance is proven to break apart solids
3 times faster than 5-7-5.

"How to write Haiku In Japaneses, the rules for how to
write Haiku are clear, and will not be discussed here.
In foreign languages, there exist NO consensus in how to
write Haiku-poems. "

So, even though until recently I thought Haiku was
Japanese for "a sneeze" I still feel inclined to say
that poetry is as much for the ignorant as it is for
those who count to 17 on their fingers & toes.

Question: How did you know we had to take our shoes off to judge that verse of yours?
To you, rc, we say:

チャプスイ
お客様の訪問の思い出
には、左側の- overs

loosely translated as --

CHOP SUEY
MEMORIES OF YOUR VISIT
IN THE LEFT-OVERS

As best as I can tell, during the Noah flood, God didn't keep a guitar slinger from the ark. I wonder how many days it has to rain to get this high?

"They’ve a way of whispering to me —
fellow-wight who yet abide —
In the muted, measured note
Of a ripple under archways,
or a lone cave’s stillicide."
Thomas Hardy
