Haiku vs Spam

Mark Cantrell was among several people who sent in a story about a company using "Haiku to Stop Spam. Essentially you use a copyrighted Haiku to tag that a message meets criteria (1 Recipient, Pre-Existing Relationship, etc) which then makes it a simple matter to filter the mail. I'm sure the spammers in China will laugh wildly as they forge the haiku. I challange comment posters to post only Haiku in this discussion ;)

  1. to haiku, or not to haiku... by stinky+wizzleteats · · Score: 1, Troll

    This is my troll Shakespearean sonnet.
    Boldly here I break the haiku rule.
    Karma; excellent; I have to waste upon it.
    So let good flames, this writ here fuel.

    A haiku's beauty is surely found
    In crystallizing; beautiful, an essence.
    In reducing an experience to the profound
    Surely this ignores Spam's putrescence.

    Entropic mass, with nothing there discreet:
    Is such that comprises Spam's nature
    For whether the missive or the meat,
    It surely defies any essence of character.

    For be well warned o ye who would haiku,
    and look for this poem in my messages to you.
