To the Haiku Moderator:
Did you ever stop to think that the particular definition you found did not mention syllables because it is an American dictionary and Americans are ignorant?
Also, the dictionary I hold in my hand has specific syllable counts. It is Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language: Second College Edition: Deluxe Color Edition (c) 1980
Thank You

HaHaHa...I've got a friend that would so blast you guys out the water. Him and some other guy he knows have Haiku battles, which is similar to rap battles (for those of you that can't draw your own lines). I should get him to throw a bunch on here.

*g* Your poems rock! Ever tried submitting one to the International Library of Poetry? You would SO get in? They have a special little doohigger for haikus.

A slight arrogance,
Snobbishly haughty people,
Yet funny and true.
Haiku's are 5-7-5, correct... but is there any way we can all live in peace and harmony, in this lovely world of poetry? *Gypsy dodges rotten fruit that is being chunked at her* Fine you rufians! Ugh! Don't say I didn't warn you! *disappears in a cloud of smoke*

Dear Haiku Police...
I have been reading your reviews of certain Haiku's...and I looked up the word Haiku in Webster's Dictionary...you should! Here is the freakin' definition...
hai-ku n. An unrhymed Japanese verse form with three short lines.
Now...no where does it say how many syllables or such that a haiku should have...and you should keep that in mind while reviewing other's works.
Sincerely,
The Haiku Police MODERATOR!

We know you can count
You made that pretty damn clear..
Count the flames you got.
I'd say that's just about 41, or close to it. I can't say too many bad things, because, granted, you reviewed my haiku with a "salute," but damn..Do you always go around with your head up your ass? Must look strange..So pull it out, take a look around, and give some friggin constructive criticism, not this egotistical crap. Unless, of course, you get a strange pleasure from having people spit at you.
..So we point and laugh..
:o)

You guys are funny... just a little bit *too* arrogant. Get over yourself, and maybe, intead of flaming ppl, just give constructive criticism? Anyways, nice... I don't care too much for *this* haiku, but some others of yours are funny.

Thank you very much for the corection of my Haiku, I feel very stupid for miscounting my first line, thats never happened to me before. But I must admit, you corrected a friend of mine the 'invisible policeman' for setting up more than one stansa of Haiku. Yet, you yourself did it in this very poem. You also informed my friend that you did not care about her subject, and I am concerned as to why you would say such a thing, I thought that this was a country of free speech Why would you tell her that the subject she chose to release her soul too is stupid and unworthy? I don't know why anyone would be so cruel.
