What is the point of haiku's?
I never did understand them.

Am I just aesthetically challenged?

They're quite elegant
And just about long enough
To contain one thought

or something like that.
They've been done to death here though. Which isn't saying they can't spring brain-hungry out of their grave at any moment.

Oh, now i can see
I shouldn't be dismissive
Of new types of prose

It's poetry, foo'-
And it's hardly new either.
It's centuries old.
