Who hates hi ku?

I remember someone telling me they hate haiku. I don't remember why. Something about it being too simple, or too obvious. At the time I thought, "Yeah, f' haiku." Cause, it does seem kinda high-school, right?

Then I read my some verse from my buddy Niilo and realized how awesome haiku is. It's totally short and simple, but if done right ... Anyway, I like Niilo's haiku (it's the same pluralized). It reminds me of what I've read from Leonard Cohen. And I mean that as a sincere compliment.

My favorite:

if you can call it a deck
you can’t, really, though
