Haiku! Gesundheit.

Once again, I can't pass up a haiku marathon of viewer-contributed 5/7/5 goodness, although he does request that we add an intentional extra syllable. Scandalous! Not sure what a 'senryuu' is, but 'haiku' is music to my ears. Watch for my entry. I'm under, well, "gordon". The one who links back here anyway.

(Or to save you the trouble of looking, here's what I wrote:)

Seven and ten beats
are hardly enough to tell
how badly I can't count.

Thanks Gordon! The "imperfection" can be an extra syllabe, or a line that's short a syllable.

Why the imperfection? [**GONG****] Because imperfection is tragic, and tragic is beautiful.

Senryuu is a 5-7-5 that doesn't have to do with nature or seasons.

Thanks again for contributing!
