Haiku (Other) by heart
Pre-defined, imprisoned-rigid cadence, Sparsely worded, sets the stage before the final turning, You will never see iambic haiku.

Up the ladder: Mrs. Robinson
Down the ladder: Everything Has Changed

would be better if the first line had more 'rigid cadence'.

Yep. Thanks for the feedback.

...I don't think this counts as haiku, does it? The lines are too long. But I like how it's self-referential and a bit ironic.

No, the poem isn't a Haiku (the style is listed as Other). The poem's title is Haiku, but that's a reference to the subject of the poem; I didn't mean it to literally describe the style. If you count syllables, you might notice a relation to Haiku of sorts, but since it's nearly iambic, the syllable counts had to be even numbers.

Oh, I see; I thought the title meant it was a haiku, rather than a comment on the haiku style. I like it, then.
