8-6-7-5-3-0-9: FREEDOM IN FORM? PORSCHIKU CONTEST CONTINUES

8-6-7-6-3-0-9: Freedom in Form - The Porschiku Contest Continues

This from Jon in CA: Hmm, didn't someone explain that a Haiku is 5/7/5?

cold start seat warmer 5 syllables
black ice smooth road 4 syllables
arctic silver control 6 syllables

As a Haiku website informs us:
"Although many times a 5-7-5 pattern is prescribed as a ‘firm’ rule in rudimentary definitions of haiku this is not supported by research, translation, or history, even in Japanese haiku."
