Bravo! I know I'm going to get flamed for my Haiku. Even though I've marked it as one of the new breed that requires the x, x+2, x format but doesn't require it be 5-7-5--still some people will snipe that it isn't Haiku.

We in America just don't have the same mental fixation that is known in Japan. If truth be told, nothing we write using syllables is real Haiku since they don't use the syllable structure as we English speakers do. And still we get the haiku police!

You have said in 17 syllables what I couldn't quite say in orders of magnitude more. (No I'm not going to sit here and count them! LOL) It's that word Fundamentalist. It makes such a vivid picture! Well done! Bravissimo!

New secret police
Counting all your syllables
As some trumped up charge


I love the idea of the haiku police, great.

xD
I like the message and I love how it's portrayed (to me) in a somewhat hilarious way.
(I kinda find everything funny.)
^_^
And I hate those people too. *sigh*

THE HAIKU POLICE. >:( Yes, they are annoying. I don't even write haikus, but I imagine it can be annoying. I should write something called the "sonnet police" though. xD Very cute. :D
