In which case 'miserably' could be said to have 4? (so you have a 5,8,5 stucture there...)

Much like poetry
Everything in this thread
Is utter rubbish

[JimRocky]

I don't mean to go off topic, and I'm not trying to be obtuse or a smartass, but what is the fascination with haikus?

Seems like an arbitrary cadence that could have just as easily been something else. Perhaps there's something
I don't know that would enlighten me.

[natty dread]

Haikus are an ancient Japanese art. They are a compact form of poetry, that has much to do with the simplistic Japanese aesthetics... Haikus are basically saying very much in very few words. At first glance they seem pointless, but if you really contemplate on them...

ah hell, whatever. It's just fun to write haikus!

[Falkomagno]

The great challenge
building a decent haikus
it's to keep the mean.

No, it doesn't.

[Rocketry]

No, it doesn't.

Hmm, it does where I come from... Perhaps the lesson is that haikus location-specific...
