i'm burning diesel burning dinosaur bones

Ok, so some people write thoughtful haiku. Reflective haiku. Humorous haiku. Provocative haiku. Beautifully-phrased haiku.

Then some people write stream-of-consciousness haiku, reflecting whatever they might happen to being doing at the time. Like grading. Like coming across a certain pet peeve--a maddening misconception held by students--while grading. Multiple times. Some people might chuck aesthetic value out the window in favor of a 17 syllable burst of venting.

I think that is probably ok, right?

style points for sure. there should be a rule that says if you post a seven-syllable word, you automatically win the challenge.

but, um...there isn't.
