Thanks for the visit, Peggy. Nope, I am not advocating rhymes in a haiku. This poodle/noodle is only a
joke, which is why I've posted it in a comment rather than giving it its own thread. A response to the actual post of this thread would have been appreciated. Never mind.

Hi marc,
Interesting "poodle/noodle" senryu. If you're going to be true to Japanese tradition on one front, shouldn't you follow through on all fronts? Correct me if you know something I don't, but I believe a rhyme in a haiku/senryu is a "no-no." I did do rather much research on this question last year and came to the conclusion that it is taboo.
Whatcha think?
Peggy
