*push*

As I get to know the KR crowd better, I'm seeing a lot of Japanese influences, particularly their art and culture.
So, I want to detail the points perhaps missed in my Haiku.

It is the traditional 5/7/5 syllable count; where the first line sets the scene, and the last is the conclusion. I’d like to think I hit the kireji with the “do you?” in the second line.
Also, note that the entire dialog comes from Luke’s first encounter with Yoda on Dagobah.
Believe it on or not, I spent quite a few hours writing this. Hmm, perhaps I shouldn’t of minimalised it by following up with a limerick !
