ReplyTo a comment on when you want your haiku to be cool but otherwise got it trashed because you are f*#ing limited by 5-7-5...and you think you can get away with it but end up getting criticized in the web by jardz.

the limitations are what force the discipline and that is the essence of the Haiku form--beauty through discipline.
