I read it - it's great! I was just about to post that it reminded me of Billy Joel's song!! Then I read your post...
So its really true that Great Minds think alike!

Leolaia,
I'm no critic of poetry or verse. But I can say your account of the history and imaginative way of conveying it was stunning.

I got extra spaces put in to separate the verses, so hopefully it's a lot easier to understand now! (Thanks Scully!)

Remarkable feat
Burn magnesium at night-
nearly as brilliant!For all the talk about the 5-7-5 meter of haiku, why is it that Bassho's classic - and most others - don't follow the "rules"?
Old pond <-- 2 syllables
a frog leaps in <-- 4 syllables
water's sound <-- 2 syllables
The answer, of course is that the 5-7-5 meter is in the original language, not in the translation.

There once was a lady apostate,
Whose steel-trap mind loved a debate.
She posted her works
'bout the Watchtower jerks
and she laughed as she watched 'em deflate! -

VERY entertaining and, in many cases, spot on as well!
