Our office sent in 6 entries, Mark, all composed in strict accordance
with the rules of haiku, which amount to much more than counting
syllables! Number 5 of those you posted to the list today observe the
rules of Haiku (not given on the unicode contest site), but the first 4
break them. For a true judgment, we need a judge who speaks Japanese,
breathes poetry, brings to the job a head full of haikus of strict
observance and has never written an advertising jingle.
:-)
A proverb to bear in mind: "The less important the prize, the fiercer
the contest".
