Ha, I can see where your coming from, and if Matsuo Basho hadn't been named I would agree. ;-) Has such a form already been created? If not, then a 'Defineku or a 'Defqu' (sounds better)has been created and its all yours. What do you reckon? (Keeping it to 3 lines with no syllable count, sound good to me)?
