At first I thought, weird comment, then I thought: Ah! Weird title!

[Mertax → chaircher]

Ya the original title isn’t a haiku, right? This appears to be a 6-7-5 pattern Haiku and is more concise

Haiku tangent: I'm no Haiku master, but as I understand it a proper Haiku should succinctly convey the experience of a moment in time. That's really the hallmark of a Haiku. Use of "seasonal words" is a traditional, but not breaking requirement. And the 5-7-5 thing is somewhat misleading since the Japanese (rough) equivalent to a "syllable" is shorter than an English syllable such that a 5-7-5 Haiku in English tends to be ~30% longer in time taken to say than a Haiku in Japanese. (This is what I can recall off the top of my head from The Haiku Handbook. Which is much more worth reading than my comment if you're interested in Haiku.)

The trend is quite clear:

Any mention of Haiku

Creates a cascade

hmmmmm

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

is haiku a two or three syllable word? In Japanese it would be three syllables ha-i-ku and it is also a Japanese concept, so I figure it would matter
