    I'm in love with The Vinegar Man and Mr. Tanner, but be careful, it could just as easily be you.

    Hi Paige 19. A haku has a structured format of 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables.
    "It is not the rich man you should properly call happy, but him who knows with wisdom how to use the blessings of the gods, to endure hard poverty, and who fears dishonor worse than death, and is not afraid to die for cherished friends or fatherland."

    Oh, okay. Did not realize we were following strict form, should have checked the thread beginning, duh.

    In that case I should have said:

    "almost remembers the barn"

    Got it now, though. Thanks, alakungfu.
