Oh sure, haikus need to follow that as a structural element, but the entire point is to actually use them to say something and hopefully in a pithy way.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, and more than that, the Haiku is supposed to involve a contrast. Usually of ideas or ideals (not the same).
