the last line remains

des·ti·na·tion: far

Cate, you are showing ignorance, stubborn wilfulness, or poor pronunciation skills

des-ti-na-ti-on far = 6 syllables. The word "destination" is not pronounced by any educated person as "destinashun"

Alice

"I am not a number"

Alice, in the english pronounciation...... destination is indeed pronounced... de-sti-nat-shun

Dear Al i ce, I do not think you understand the concept of 'bugger off. Please research/ write a paper in regards to and then respond (or more accurately don't respond) with the appropriate behaviour.

much tolerance,

Dear Geoffrey, Haiku's are a particular form demanding specific numbers of syllables in each line. Your effort is invalid because on its proper pronunciation "so shaft me quickly" is 6 syllables, not 5.

so
shaft
me
quick
er
ly

Are you actually Cate in disguise? She can't count either

... okay, I'm going with "so shaft me quickly" which I believe is the correct amount of syllables

so shaft me quickly
miss your mighty epitaph
don't even write me...

...(actually, if I could have, syllable wise, I'd have written "you don't even write me"...) but the line stays as is, for haiku purposes...

don't even write me
nor oddly write me either

just count me out please?
