[quote=KhabaLox][quote=DoomedOne]Writing a haiku with no purpose is like throwing lines of water color paint on a canvas and calling it a water-color art piece.

I don't get it. Is it art if you use oils instead of water-colors? Jackson Pollack (and a lot of art critics) seemed to think so.
Poetry is as poetry does.[/quote]
Yeah you're right you don't get it. Poetry is an artform as well. You asusmed by art I meant only paintings. This is what I meant, I'll make it clear.
You can't paint an art-piece by simply sticking the medium to the canvas, if you could anyone could make art. With haiku, the midium maybe a certaina mount of syllables, but that does not make it haiku simply to follow those sylalbles.

And the Buddha replied, "Why not try crawling into the blazing furnace?"
