Alan Smithee Member Registered: 12/28/07 Posts: 493	I don't understand / the appeal of seventeen / syllable haiku. Seventeen syllables? Why? / Why not nineteen or / twenty one instead? Why is that number / considered the most / prosodically pleasing? Was the man who wrote / the first haiku missing three / fingers from his hand?
