Haiku "poetry"; about.

From distant Japan,
men with no heart or talent
invented Haiku.

Poetry, they said,
confined and binded by the
power of numbers.

Numbers ruling words?
How can that be? Blasphemy!
- the true poets yelled.

But those from Japan,
were eager to explain their
"thing" named poetry.

The rules are simple
- they said. Count five, seven, five
and Haiku you'll find.

So, without questions
the world embraced syllable
poetry-like "game".

But are they poets,
those who count what they should feel?
No way, not for real.
