good point...damn. in the book, it says, "A late poem of Seymour's is a six-line verse, of no certain accent but usually more iambic than not..."

the double amount of syllables is mentioned...but no 575 575 structure. is this the definition of a double haiku...or does "no certain accent" imply that only double amount of syllables is the rule?

eh...i'll fix mine anyway...

i'm very impressed with the bananafish offerings re
the seymour poem.

not to be a humbug, but:

a double-haiku should have the following syllables per
line:

575 575

(it's easier to criticize than create.)

i'm still fussing with/polishing mine.
