The strict definition of haiku is like this:
A poem of exactly seventeen syllables that indicate the season.
It should contain an emotional word.
It should be one complete sentence.
Anything else is a Senryu, a jingle, or a ringgle (a jingle that sells
nothing), especially if it fails to indicate the season. If it's less
than seventeen syllables, then you still might be able to find a tune
for it. As you follow more of the above rules it should become easier
to find a tune.

I've written a grand total of one haiku to about twenty-five senryu
(before I learned the other rules), and this is it:

hazard.

Since google broke my URL:

I hav a schtik where I make two recordings, silence the left channel
of one, the right channel of the other, adjust the timing, and then
mix them. That way, I get harmonic stereo. Up until recently, though,
I haven't been doing anything with it but parallel harmony, where the
two parts move together, which means that the ratio of pitch between
the left and right channels is constant at four to three (or three to
four, depending on which channel is high). Let me know how my foray
into complex harmony is going. I'm pretty sure these are the best
lyrics I've come up with for anything.
