Haiku's magic.
Haiku's done five-seven-five
or otherwise.

Even Basho the old Japanese haiku master broke the rules of form when it was required.  

Senryu is a form of haiku with a more human touch than traditional haiku. Haiku is an acquired taste.  I acquired it as soon as I saw it for the first time.  It is a poetic expression with endless possibilities like humanism.  I love it as I love humanism.

Ummmm....is four the new five?

four is the new five
and five is the new seven
math is very hard
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
