The haiku is, essentially, the ‘fast food’ of poetry. It’s convenient, and briefly satisfying but it does no-one any good in the longer term

Oh, I’ll slap a lackadaisical ‘like’ for your languid effort. But I know the/your finishing line is another 24 hours closer…

Lackadaisical or not, all ‘likes’ go into the stat machine, and are, after all, the currency of 21st century life. But yes, only five more posts to go and I’ll alter course.

It remains mediocre even when it is re-ordered.
Therefore, mediocre yet it can’t be improved. You are the master of paradox.
Is this Haiku OK
