I have never heard of rhyme or meter in Haiku but I don't speak Japanese. I
think it is rhythm but that is just me reading out loud. Kind of that Yoda
speak feel to it, to make it seem apart from yourself. I know Zen influence
in the Samurai world resulted in that sitting outside yourself to attain
impassion so as to maximize cuts, I guess clinically, like when you paint or
draw, time does not enter into your world and you look up from your work and
three hours have past, this occurs even when writing or doing calligraphy,
that right brain shift. I think the W. bros got bullet time from watching
Japanese Cinema, even Japanese comic books take panels to show nature before
any serious action starts, kind of setting up a marker to refer back to when
the motion is finished. The good spaghetti westerns have this feel down,
watch "Once Upon A Time In The West". Haiku with six shooters. Concerning
editors, I have a bad condition of premature send clicking. It makes an
awful lot of messes just when the fun is starting. I guess when my senses
dull this condition will fade, (God willing).

daniel, thanks for your explanation below! never knew
that.

by the way, in japanese haikus, are there rhymes?
metrics?

bowing to the master,

ps: i find you incredibly creative in many of your
posts. my only thought is that you might benefit from
a genius shawn-like editor.
