              Eh, my bad. I figured that was somewhat optional given it’s English and already kind of an adaptation. Fixing it is more effort than I’m willing to put in tho

              The whole Wikipedia page on English Haiku makes it seem like there’s a lot of room for interpretation

                It is somewhat optional.

                While there are certain elements that are traditionally included in a ‘proper’ haiku, those elements are not universal, even in very old, traditional haiku. @jerkface@lemmy.ca is being too harsh and speaking too absolutely here. A non-traditional haiku is still a haiku.
