steer away from rhyme:
play ping pong (instead);
and yes, all chinese
poets are monks -
   i can't shut away the narrative
as much as i'd like -
but to have the sort
of inhibitive straitjacket of
producing only two haikus
          in a year?
that's... well...
        that's just that...
it has to be down to something
akin to: chinese doesn't have
an alphabet, it doesn't deal
with letters, it deals with
syllables,
    and their "letters" are:
numbers, which is why they're
so good at math...
  no wonder the confusion
of having the syllable rho
or pi, then the ****** roman
song of: letters cradles by H,
in e.g. oh, ah eh, i',
     i don't even know where the
microscope / telescope came from,
or whether it's reductionism
or deductionism...
   you still make rho (ρ) into
       a thrrrrrrrrrrilling sensation
when it matters -
ha, who invented the wheel?
rho, that begat omicron,
  that ended up the buttocks
of omega,
that later became the famous
trojan grin of the pygmy with W.
