   You’re going to have to educate me a little on haiku. I was under the impression that the classical format for them was 5 syllables, then seven, then five again, (at least in Japanese, though they may translate into different numbers of syllables when moved to a different language).

   Just wonderin’, because I’d really like to know if I’ve been doing it wrong.

   Simon,

   Thanks for asking. Check out one of my (so far) rare essay posts, “The Japanese Ask Us to Knock It Off,” found here:
