I like the idea, Chuck, but the last line is problematic to me. It sounds like you're using a euphemism for the 'f' word. (No offense intended, brother, but that's what it sounds like to me.)

Today, many bilingual poets and translators in the mainstream North American haiku scene agree that something in the vicinity of 11 English syllables is a suitable approximation of 17 Japanese syllables, in order to convey about the same amount of information as well as the brevity and the fragmented quality found in Japanese haiku. As to the form, some American poets advocate writing in 3-5-3 syllables or 2-3-2 accented beats. While rigid structuring can be accomplished in 5-7-5 haiku with relative ease due to a greater degree of freedom provided by the extra syllables, such structuring in shorter haiku will have the effect of imposing much more stringent rules on English haiku than on Japanese haiku, thereby severely limiting its potential.

Thanks, Andrew.
I must say I had another word in mind when reading it also. You are not wrong in the context of the word either, just it might not be that right to put it there. btw. the other option which we all seemed to think it was also could mean incredibly in that situation. Both words starting with f can be used interchangably and they are effectivly in many cases the same word but one is considered 'clearer'.Originally posted by Charismatic Calvinist
