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 ;)

Hmm. So far as a I know 5-7-5 is the rule; in addition to be a true haiku it must have a nature theme; satirical 5-7-5 verses are known as senryu. Strict rules in the form of haiku made sense because the form originated as a set of standard openings (hokku) for renga. Renga is kind of a Japanese poetry geek game in whihc players take turns adding to the end of a poem according to complicated rules as to form and theme. Collections of hokku were made the way chess enthusiasts collect openings. Eventually, making hokku branched off into a separate literary activity.
People adapting the haiku form to other languages may well relax the 5-7-5 rule, because it doesn't really make sense in many other languages other than Japanese. Every language has its unique sound which dicttaes its poetic form. However, I'd argue that a true haiku canot be created in any language other Japanese, or perhaps some other language that flows similarly. The true sound of a Japanese 5-7-5 stanza cannot be captured in English. I expect that certain English forms, such as the limerick, don't fare well in Japanese. English is a stressed language, so all limericks share a kind of flow to them: da-DAdada-DAdada-DUM, da-DAdada-DAdada-DUM, da-DAdada-DUM, da-DAdada-DUM,da-DAdada-DAdada-DUM.

Kahn: Laos. We Laotian.

Kahn: We are Laotian. From Laos, stupid! It's a landlocked country in Southeast Asia. It's between Vietnam and Thailand, okay?? Population: four point seven million.

You offer:
In syllables, it still works in Unix. Nicely done!
dash dash dump, err to dev null,
piped thru grep haiku
But a good haiku is a metaphor between man and nature, still crammed into the syllabic form.
ignoring all distraction,
eyes only its prey.
