A humorous not-true-to-form Haiku
Rated:
E
by
Avg Rating: (4)
After reading through an online discussion concerning what properly could be considered Haiku, I decided to settle the matter by channeling the spirit of Bashô, which resulted in the following oracle:


To find the haiku,
Remove the poet from view,
Observe what remains



Actually, I'm not entirely certain I was channeling the spirit of Bashô, there. It might have been the spirit of Guinness... but I figured I would share, just in case.
