replying 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 unknown

Dear Robert K Foster,
Having observed your behaviour on PoemeRanker for a number of months now, it seems clear to me that your greatest achievement to date lies in comprehending the 5-7-5 syllable count constraint employed in the Haiku form. However, given that Japanese syllables are different to English syllables in terms of "length" and the "amount of information" they convey, this limitation cannot really be imposed formally. Had you written all your Haiku in Jap I might have some sympathy for your outrageous, and frankly rather offensive, claims. May I suggest you pay a visit to the following site:
http://pachome1.pacific.net.sg/~loudon/a
In so doing, you will realise that I have based my entire argument on something I read on a random website. However, I'm sure you will see that you are indeed a cadlington.
Good day.

1. If you want to see what others have to say about it, why do you throw a temper tantrum every time they tell you, and say "I don't care what you think about my work"?
2. God, you are such a broken record. Will you please just shut up about "judging" this and "judging" that? I swear you never make a post without whining about people judging you.
Just today you were giving horus8 all this stuff about how he has no life, blah blah blah. And look: Now you're crying and complaining about being judged yourself. You silly little shit. All you do is march up and down, judging your own life to be good and judging everyone else who disagrees to be bad because they're judging you.
All teenagers ever do is approve of things and disapprove of things. It's uninteresting and stupid. This is a site about poetry. horus8 is criticising your poetry. Because you are a whiny teenager, you find it impossible to stay on topic and you invariably try to skew the discussion into some bullshit about JUDGING. If you have something to say about your poetry, say it. Other than "stop judging my poetry", of course. Otherwise, please just stop talking, because everyone has heard what you have to say and you haven't said anything new since you joined the site.
Besides, if your life was such a paradigm of teenage perfection, I doubt you'd be such a whiny little shit.

1. Why do you constantly post your "work" here if you don't want it to be "judged"? Nobody enjoys reading it.
2. As a 14-year-old, you have no idea what constitutes a rewarding life. Oh what, you've got a girlfriend and you stare into each other's eyes and write love poems and sometimes she shows you her tits? Wow! That's more rewarding than I can possibly imagine!

Go back to your livejournal and post about your Interesting Life. Your hamstringed irony is demeaning us both.

These are troubling issues, indeed. But I'm sure your poeme will solve them. Good Christ I hope so...

When you say "I love ignorant people", what you meant was "Ignorant people really irritate me, but if I said that then people wouldn't like me, so I'll say that I love them, which hopefully will make me seem carefree and easy-going". In conclusion, stop posting.

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM
CONSTRUCTIVE
WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS "NON-CONSTRUCTIVE PRAISING". IT IS 10 TIMES WORSE THAN NON-CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM BECAUSE IT JUST ENCOURAGES PEOPLE TO WRITE MORE WITHOUT IMPROVING.

Prostitution certainly is an important issue.
I too have frequently delivered myself of the opinion that the satin walls of purposeful isolation have tasted betrayal and, much like the vengeful Sun, have succumbed to the raindrops of concrete complexion. Nevertheless, one cannot but wonder from time to time that perhaps one's opinions, though artfully decorated in the plush velveteen plumes of purposeless consolidation, make about as much sense to non-spastics as the senseless ramblings of a half-baked nincompoop with some heavy shopping. Halos were never meant to rust, my friend. Never meant to rust...
