A "Western Haiku" need not concern itself with the seventeen syllables since Western languages cannot adapt themselves to the fluid syllabic Japanese. I propose that the "Western Haiku" simply say a lot in three short lines in any Western language.

Now that's a great definition! I don't know that it makes haiku any easier, though. Thanks for sharing.
