Is rationalism a humanism?

[Ravenshire]

Did you use reason to reach that conclusion?

Sure, it rebels against tradition, that's why we always get haiku with lines containing random numbers of syllables.

Jack Kerouac thought of haiku as free verse as do I. If you want to write a sonnet, write it but don't bother me with it. Buddhism is but dharma and meditation. I hate rules and regulations, pomp and ceremony.

If you hate rules and regulations, you hate haiku which adheres to very strict rules or it isn't haiku.
