The Nine-Haiku Blank Verse HyperSonnet
I've done the math, and found that nine haikus will
fit on the sonnet's plate. Nine seventeens are
one hundred fifty-three--That's one beat shy of,
say, if you take fourteen iambic lines with
the ends all feminine-ized. Think in numbers,
and sacrifice the sense of what it is you've
just said. Worthy notions make, sometimes, the foulest
results, so why continue? Why continue
on, thinking you've invented some new form if
it sucks? but then you're almost at the end of
the puzzle and it's just a draft for William
and Dirk to convolute their verses into
new shapes with. Rules are rules are rules are rules.
Haiku is not the place to fuck with forms.
