Why? the haiku given appears to a perfectly good example of the form.

    Why not? The first page talks about "traditional" Haiku.

    Some seventeen sounds
    within a three line Haiku,
    traditionally.

    The second page gives many ideas and techniques for writing Haiku that do not necessarily follow the "traditional" rules of Haiku, much like the OP.

      English haiku does not necessarily follow the 17 syllable (5-7-5) form, (some consider 5-7-5 a mark of the beginner in English haiku, but I do not agree with that assessment as I have seen many fine 5-7-5 examples in English). The OP's haiku is exemplary in form and phrase and fragment: So much so, that I wouldn't have assumed they needed any instructional links to 'how to' pages on haiku. Sorry if I misunderstood your response, but it struck me as similar to giving links to 'how to write perl programs' in response to an excellently coded Perl snippet.
