Haiku Talent

I observed something that made me laugh. The reason I find this particular happening funny is most likely just due to my lack of understanding of the whole process of writing a haiku, symbolism therein, etc.

Whenever you mention "moon", "tortoise", "spring/summer breeze", you're automatically seasoned. You have mastered the art of talking about common Japanese icons in that culture. In the very least, you've managed to squeeze it in there somehow.

Does it make sense? Not to me. It simply sounded ridiculous, and recalling the way it was read still makes me want to start laughing!
