Even with this explanation Haiku still makes no sense to me.

Well, I gotta tell you this whole conversation went over my head.

 

[chrisy]

it's not hard to understand, it's putting things side-by-side, of what you see and perceive, leaving it up to the reader to establish connections and impose a meaning. Here's how I see it....

senseless senseless
how very silly
Japanese Haiku
much like this thread.

Chrisy,

I'm no expert but I think it also has something to do with the number of lines and the amount of syllables in each line.

it does but I was trying to make it simple to sort of understand. it has to have 17 syllables and 3 - 7 lines.

Yeah, the haiku is explained in a James Bond novel--I forget which one. He is in bed with some Geisha at the time, as I remember. I read a political blogger who does a "by-ku" for every candidate exiting a presidential race.
I could do a lot of work looking up the rules for haiku, so I won't. Take it as the Japanese equivalent of a limmerick.
