| I read that haikus
are not bound by syllables
traditionally
but what liberties
can be taken before this
isn't a haiku?

| Form is but a guide
People should write from the heart
That is poetry
Holidays are here
And yet I am feeling blue
Must be the weather

What you do not know
about haiku is this: it
is but part of a whole.
The renga replies. Follow
a haiku with seven, twice.
